Digital design II

B Qiu

6 points - Two 1-hour lectures and one 2-hour practical class per week - Second semester - Clayton - Prerequisites: CSE2101

Objectives At the completion of this subject, students should be able to carry out top-down design and analysis of digital systems, select the structure and implementation methods for a practical problem, and use CAD tools for contemporary digital systems design. Students should also be able to apply microprocessor, microcontroller, arithmetic circuit and memory devices as part of digital systems solutions.

Synopsis This subject aims to provide students with top-down design techniques and other necessary knowledge for contemporary digital systems design. The syllabus includes: top-down design, controller/architecture model, CAD package and tools for digital system design, simulation and implementation, basic concept of VHDL and its application for digital system description. The subject also includes hardware structure of microcontroller, CPU architecture and design, CPU data path and control circuit, machine level instructions for microcontroller configuration, single-chip microcontroller systems, memory devices and memory interface timing.

Assessment Examination (2 hours): 60% - Practical work: 40%
