EE 3900B - Design of Logic Systems3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
The goal of this course is to develop the ability to design combinational and sequential logic circuits used to construct digital systems. Topics discussed include analysis and design of ALU, tristate devices, multiplexers, bus, flip-flops, counters, registers, timing and state diagrams, ASM chart and memory devices. Students design a digital system, such as simple microprocessor, a video driver or communications module. VHDL is used for design and an FPGA is used for logic realization. Digital circuit simulators and logic analyzers are used in the design and testing process. (prereq: full admission into the AAS-EET to BSEE transfer track or consent of an EE program advisor)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Design combinational logic circuits using VHDL and test on a programmable logic device (FPGA)
- Design storage elements (Flip-flops, Latches), ALU, counters, registers, tristate devices, multiplexers, and bus using VHDL and test on a programmable logic device (FPGA)
- Design synchronous sequential circuits using state diagrams and/or ASM using VHDL and test on a programmable logic device (FPGA)
- Design VHDL model of a digital system, such as simple microprocessor, a video driver and/or communications module, and test on a programmable logic device (FPGA)
- Use commercially available digital-design software tools and evaluation boards to design, simulate and implement design circuits
