Subject outline
This subject builds on previous studies in Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)hardware design. Commencing with an overview of today's FPGA technology, devices and tools for the design and implementation of complex, state-of-the-art, high speed, complete system solutions on a hardware programmable device. Practical lectures will be supported by hands-on exercises which gradually increase in complexity, to allow students to build an understanding of design environments, processes, what is feasible, and what is not feasible in various design situations. From this, the key challenges in implementing sophisticated high speed digital systems will be demonstrated and appropriate design methodologies developed to meet these challenges. Important topics covered include: design planning, design for synthesis, efficient hardware design, effective use of simulation, fixed point versus floating point implementation, trade-offs between serial and parallel architecture, IP design, use and re-use, clocks and synchronous design, use of high speed ADCs and DACs, asynchronous interfacing, timing closure, and in-system debug.
