EE 3921 - Digital System Design

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
The objective of this course is to give students a solid foundation in 21st century digital systems design practices. The primary emphasis of the course is on designing a SOPC (System-On-AProgrammable- Chip). Thus the course incorporates the use of soft processors, such as the NIOS II from Altera. Designs are specified using VHDL and simulated on a personal computer. The design is then realized on an FPGA. Real-time verification of the design using an in-system logic analyzer such as SignalTap is emphasized. The course also involves advanced projects based on a soft processor interface. Due to the project oriented nature of the course, the syllabus is organized as a set of case studies. (prereq: EE 2900 , EE 2902 ).
