Subject outline
The increasing complexity of digital systems has led to development of modern methodologies in digital design, simulation and production, collectively known as electronic design automation (EDA). In this subject students further develop digital design skills using current technology in textural and graphical tools for EDA. Students will investigate how digital systems can be described as a hierarchical structure of block diagrams, state machines, flow charts, truth tables and HDL code (VHDL). Designs can then be extensively simulated to check their integrity, and finally compiled and synthesized in a field programmable gate arrays (FPGA). The subject contents include: digital systems design methodology and design flow; architecture, design and synthesis issues; Register Transfer Level design, coding and synthesis; sequential system design; stare machines; clocking and timing issues; design validation; design for test; boundary scan and build-in self test. Hands-on practical work in laboratory classes, assignments and a team project form a major part of the learning in this unit.
