Digital System design with PLDs and FPGAs

Sequential design, step by step

The course is built around synchronous sequential circuits: how to analyze them, how to design them top-down, and how to build controllers from a control algorithm and state diagram.

What the lectures cover

• Revision of prerequisite digital concepts
• Top-down design and a case study
• Controller design from control algorithms and state diagrams
• A run of lectures on finite state machine issues
• Synchronization techniques

Students who already know combinational logic and want to design controllers for programmable devices will get the most from it.
