English

What you'll learn

  • Digital design basics, including logic gates, binary/hexadecimal numbers, registers, shift registers, counters, timing diagrams, propagation/setup/hold timing
  • VHDL language basics, including VHDL file formats/libraries, coding logic equations, conditional statements, arrays, timing constraints
  • Coding, including case statements, state machines, coding from timing diagrams, while-loops, standard/unsigned types, VHDL components (modules), simulation
  • Practical examples: memories (inferred/dual port), FIFOs, memory-mapped buses, serial interfaces (RS232, UARTs, I2C, SPI), DSP, PLLs, Manchester/8B10B encoding

Description

VHDL is a powerful programming language for developing FPGAs, but is useless without an in-depth understanding of digital design. This course provides the student a comprehensive working knowledge of both of these in parallel. VHDL describes digital logic, and, as such, is an ideal vehicle for developing a deep understanding of the functional power available in modern FPGA devices.

Who this course is for:

  • Entry level students interested in developing programs for FPGAs.
  • Technicians and engineers who would like to learn VHDL (an FPGA programming language).
