Digital Design

2019/2020

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Purpose:
To introduce digital circuits and show the entire road from basic circuits to entire embedded systems.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • about the electronic architecture of logical gates
  • about calculation of boolean expressions
  • about the different possibilities of implementing a micro-computer system
  • about different platforms on which a micro-computer system can be implemented
  • about different synthesis languages that can be used in the design

Skills

  • within interfacing of FSM and FSMD blocks, incl. 3rd party
  • within elementary building blocks of the field, e.g.
    • Gates
    • Flip-Flops
    • LUT
    • ALU
    • Pipeline
    • Busses and bus types
  • requirements and limitations of interfaces between these blocks, e.g.
    • Timing
    • Clock skew

Competences

  • within design of simple FSM and FSMD blocks
  • within systems design incorporating a number of IP blocks with interaction
