Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- Describe functions of encoders/decoders, adders/subtractors, multiplexers/demultiplexers and their design procedures; and design them using VHDL (combinational logic)
- Describe functions of flip-flops, registers, counters, finite-state machines and their design procedures; and design them using VHDL (sequential logic)
- Build ALUs using VHDL
- Describe VHDL memory functions and use them to design RAM units
- Describe VHDL bus and I/O functions and use them to design bidirectional bus and tri-state buses
- Implement logic circuits on FPGA boards
