4 ECTS credits
110 h study time
Offer 1 with catalog number 4016977ENR for all students in the 1st semester at a (E) Master - advanced level.
In this course, the students will (1) learn about PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices) and FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) digital circuits, (2) gain a global view of what a digital design flow is (for FPGA as well for ASICs), in terms of software tools, vocabulary, key steps and methodology, (3) learn the basics of VHDL hardware design language, (4) practice the full cycle of a FPGA-targeted design (problem analysis, VHDL code design and test, bitstream download onto a commercial FPGA-board).
