EEN 4175 - Digital Architecture and the Hardware Description Language

Credits: 4

Advances in silicon technology have enabled System-on-Chip (SOC) designs containing more than ten million gates. Several aspects of engineering need careful attention in highly complex component design projects: Architecture, partitioning and hierarchy; design verification; design-for-reuse. This advanced elective will introduce students to the Verilog Hardware Description Language as we apply common digital architectures to a range of high-level functional design problems. Using lab- and project-based teaching, we will write behavioral descriptions and synthesize hardware in the form of field programmable gate arrays (FPGA).
