Digital Systems

This course introduces the following aspects in digital design:

• combinational digital systems,

• sequential systems,

• complex combinatial and sequential building blocks

• reconfigurable hardware and complex digital systems.

• Design and verification, using espresso, QuestaSim and Quartus II tools, with VHDL or Verilog hardware description languages.

All the important aspects of digital design will be discussed:

• number systems,

• Boolean algebra,

• combinational logic,

• Two-level and multilevel networks and reduction techniques/design tools,

• timing hazards,

• Moore/Mealy machines,

• Finite State Machines (FSM) and more.

The lab starts with the realization of simple circuits and will end with complex systems realized on an FPGA.
