Course detail
Programmable Logic Devices
FEKT-MPC-PLDAcad. year: 2022/2023
Students get more detailed knowledge in the area of digital circuits design, especially with respect to their implementation into FPGAs (or ASICs). Students get overview of current technology of these integrated circuits, their off-the-shelf architectures, principles of design and application of basic digital subsystems (counters, finite state machines, memory structures). During the PC lectures students get familiar with modern system for FPGA configuration. This includes description of the digital system (using VHDL source codes, schematic, IP cores), its implementation and verification using simulator. After passing the course students are able to design and implement simple digital system into an FPGA (using VHDL language).
