Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:

1. Describe functions of encoders/decoders, adders/subtractors, multiplexers/demultiplexers and their design procedures; and design them using VHDL (combinational logic)
2. Describe functions of flip-flops, registers, counters, finite-state machines and their design procedures; and design them using VHDL (sequential logic)
3. Build ALUs using VHDL
4. Describe VHDL memory functions and use them to design RAM units
5. Describe VHDL bus and I/O functions and use them to design bidirectional bus and tri-state buses
6. Implement logic circuits on FPGA boards
