EG 2382 Digital Systems Design - 3 semester hours
The first part of this course presents a quick review of sequential network design concepts as presented in the pre-requite course on Fundamentals of Logic Design (EG 2341); iterative networks; integrated circuit logic families and their electric characteristics; drive capability and fan-out of TTL and CMOS devices; Tri-state buffers, and Open-collector outputs. Mixing logic families; Hazard detection and prevention; designing digital systems using Programmable Logic Devices (PLD); digital systems design using Algorithmic State Machine (ASM) charts. The second part of this course focuses on the design of combinational and sequential networks using VHDL. Students will learn how to use the top-down design techniques to analyze, design, simulate, verify, and synthesize complex digital circuits using modern CAD tools. Prerequisites: EG 2341and EG 2141W; Co-requisite: EG 2181W.
