This subject builds on the digital logic basics introduced in
Electronics. Students will become familiar with the design
of complex synchronous and asynchronous digital systems.
Considerations of timing and hazards will be covered
allowing the student to have confidence in their ability to
design reliable digital circuits. The increasing complexity of
digital systems mandates the use of appropriate CAE tools.
Competence with these tools will be gained by the student.
Practical applications will be emphasised in a design project
allowing the student an opportunity for experiential
learning.
Content
State machine analysis and synthesis, ASM models: Mealy
and Moore models; Register transfer notation.
Asynchronous circuits.
Minimisation of functions, hazards.
Field programmable gate arrays.
. .
CAE tools for simulation and design: Hierarchical design
approach; CAE design overview; Device databases;
Information available. (electrical, thermal, physical);
Schematic capture; Description of features of a suitable tool;
Modelling & simulation; Component modelling (unit delay,
timing extraction; Synthesis tools for FPGAs; Introduction
to tools and specific concepts.
