CSSE3000,
CSSE7011 - Digital System Design I
SHORT INFO
- Delivered: Semester 1, 2011
- Contact hours: 2h lectures + 1h tutorial, 2h lab experiments per week.
- CSSE3000/CSSE7011
introduces students to the more advanced concepts, methods and techniques
of digital design and is a follow up of CSSE2000 - Introduction to Digital
Systems. It is focused on in depth understanding of design principles, good
command of VHDL language and tools, and systematic design and testing
methodology. In other words:
we apply informed design decisions,
we do not fix problems by trial end error, we know why things are working (or
not), we test, test, test ..., we document, and finally we present our results
in a professional way.
This course covers: - Principles of analysis & synthesis of digital circuits.
- Structured design of combinatorial & sequential digital circuits.
- Digital system building blocks & their interfaces.
- Digital system simulation & synthesis with VHDL.
- Electrical & timing issues in digital system design.
- Basics of VLSI CMOS technology
