CE00154-7 Digital Electronic Systems

This module covers advanced electronic system design techniques. This includes Computer Aided Design using VHDL entry and advanced digital simulation using Xlinx. Design techniques include synchronous as well as asynchronous circuits. High level synthesis is covered as a top down design approach including data flow graphs. Designing digital system using modulo-2 arithmetic including linear filters are covered as well. VHDL is covered in detail including combinatorial and sequential system design.

This module is designed to enable students to understand advanced digital electronic systems, to apply selection skills in choosing appropriate solutions to design problems and to be aware of design limitations both theoretical and technological.
