EE 455 - Digital Electronics II

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

Description:

Advanced topics in digital design. Definition of digital systems using schematic capture, hardware description languages, and computer-aided engineering software. Implementation of digital logic using modern components such as complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Use of embedded soft-core processors to run microcontroller code within a programmable logic device. Laboratory includes the design, simulation, and hardware implementation of typical systems. Prerequisite: EE 352 (Microprocessors I). Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Design combinational and sequential digital logic using canonical techniques such as truth tables, Karnaugh maps, and state diagrams. (2) Define digital logic using both schematic representation and hardware description languages together with computer-aided engineering software. (3) Develop microcontroller applications to run on soft-core processors embedded in complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). (4) Simulate digital logic using industry-standard software. (5) Implement digital logic in CPLDs and FPGAs. (6) Test digital systems using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other modern tools. (7) Document their work in accurate, attractive, and informative laboratory reports.
