Course objectives
Within this course the students will obtain deeper knowledge on the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and get familiar with advanced methods of hardware design using hardware description languages (HDL). Verilog HDL is used to demonstrate most of the principles.
Learning outcomes
Graduates of this course will be able to:
understand the FPGA principle;
design advanced systems using HDL Verilog version 2001
design application for FPGA.
Syllabus
  • Programmable structures fundamentals.
  • Structural modelling of programable logic using schematics, basics of simulations.

  • Behavioural modelling of combinational logic, decoders, adders, subtractors.
  • Simulations by ModelSim, using of test benches
  • Sequential logic - Counters, clock dividers
  • Sequential logic – Synchronous design
  • Sequential logic – Finite state machines
  • Introduction to System Verilog and VHDL.
