ELE 3510 - Digital Systems

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course is designed to give students a solid foundation in 21st century digital systems design practices. The course integrates digital logic, memories, library functions and a processor to develop SOPCs (System-On-A-Programmable-Chip). Designs are coded using a hardware description language, synthesized, and simulated using industry-based tools and implemented on an industry standard FPGA platform. Advanced projects in this course will include both hardware development and software developed to run on the hardware.
Prereq: (CPE 1500  and ELE 1601  and ELE 2610 ) or (ELE 2801  and ELE 2610 ) (quarter system prereq: CE 1911 or EE 3900B, and EE 2931 or EE 3910B)
Note: None
This course meets the following Raider Core CLO Requirement: None
