ELECTRONIC DESIGN AUTOMATION - VHDL AND FPGAS
ELE5FDD
2020
Credit points: 15
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), key elements include text and graphics-based design entry and verification, hardware description languages (HDLs), programmable logic devices (PLDs) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). This subject introduces the hardware description language VHDL and it's application to creating hardware in FPGAs. Students will be able to develop solutions to digital design problems using reliable synchronous digital design. A modular, reusable approach is encouraged. A strong emphasis is placed on the design and implementation of working hardware implementations on FPGAs using a suite of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software tools.
