Description

Xilinx FPGAs: Learning Through Labs with VHDL teaches students digital design using the hands on approach. This course focuses on the actual VHDL implementation compared to the theory. The best most efficient way to learn VHDL is by actually writing and creating designs yourself. This courses includes 9 labs which include design for the following:

BCD Display
Random Number Generator
Signed Multiplier
Barrel Shifter
Arithmetic Logic Unit
Temperature Sensor
Tilt Sensor
Microphone Interface
Potentiometer Interface

This course is structured such that each section contains a specific topic that is briefly discussed and then you will be given a design to start with to complete the lab. All the completed code solutions for each project will be available for download as a resource. Each section will contain a setup lecture that explains how to setup the lab. There is also a demonstration video given as a reference for a working design.

Who this course is for:

Engineering Students
Engineering Managers
Digital Logic Enthusists
Individuals pursuing Electrical Engineering
Anyone who wants to learn more about VHDL
Anyone who wants to take it for fun!

A graduate from the University of Dayton with his Bachelor's degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering Technology. He also graduated from UD with his Master's degree in Electrical Engineering. He currently has a patent pending for an electronic monitoring device. He has strong knowledge in FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) development, Digital Electronics, Circuit Board design, and VHDL design and modeling of hardware systems. His focus of study in school was embedded systems which involves circuit design, firmware development, implementation of computer hardware, and the interfacing of computer operating systems. His hobbies include mobile application development, layout and assembly of PCB's (Printed Circuit Boards), computer application programming, and anything related to electrical engineering.
