Teaching Field Programmable Gate Array Design (Fpga) To Future Electrical Engineering Technologists: Course Development

2007 Annual Conference & Exposition Proceedings

FPGA-based re-programmable logic design became more attractive during the last decade, and the use of FPGA in digital logic design is increasing rapidly. The need for highly qualified FPGA designers is increasing at a fast rate. To respond to the industry needs of FPGA designers, universities are updating their curriculum with courses in FPGA logic design. As a result, the School of Technology at Michigan Technological University is stepping up to this challenge by introducing the FPGA design course. The new course will be the third in series of digital logic design, it introduces the students to techniques needed for the design of very-large scale digital systems, including computers basic building block. The paper discusses the goals of this course and relates the goals to industry needs of highly trained FPGA designers.

What are the “Fundamentals ” of Modern Digital Logic Design? The evolving content of Trinity's one-semester course in Digital Logic Design

2008

Session T2A3 As the practice of digital logic migrates away from discrete design and toward the construction of Systems on a Chip and the use of Intellectual Property Cores with programmable or highly customizable logic, how should the study of Digital Logic Design (DLD) evolve? Which of the “fundamentals ” are still crucial to the understanding of DLD, and which are outmoded artifacts of the way we used to do things? What do we give up as we move from discrete design of digital logic to a architectural approach to digital systems? This paper describes the evolution of an elective course in DLD in an Engineering Science program. The course is currently split roughly into thirds: combinatorial design, sequential design, and computer architecture. Except for the very first lab experiment, which focuses on instrumentation, all experiments are currently done in the Integrated Design Environment (IDE) provided by the vendor of the Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) that comprise the ...

Digital Logic Introduction Using FPGAs

Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2015

The paper describes the adaptation of the Computer Architecture laboratory works given at the Faculty of Engineering in Foreign Languages from the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest to the new trends in digital logic design. The laboratories are given in a gradual approach, starting with simulation, continuing with breadboard design and finishing with circuits made on perfboard. We are preparing now to complement the practical side of the laboratory with Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design, where the students will conceive, simulate, synthesize and implement the circuits already studied in the initial approach that used simulation followed by integrated circuits practical design.

Fundamentals of Digital Logic Design

2019

The book Digital Logic Design was written to try and solve some of problems faced by students in computer engineering, computer science and electric engineering programs. In most developing countries, there is a scarcity of affordable well written books in information technology especially digital logic design. Digital computers are implemented on digital logic circuits so their design require a good knowledge of digital logic circuits. We the authors of this book are lecturers with many years of lecturing experience at universities and really know the problems faced by studying information technology. This book is organized in form of lectures from the number systems, Boolean algebra up to computer registers. This helps the students understand how a system operates. In the lectures we have included activities and self-assessment exercise to keep the student engaged and also evaluate him/her self. This book is very helpful to both full-time students, those students studying online a...

A Freshman Engineering Core Course in Modern Digital Design

A freshman engineering core course in digital logic is taught to all engineering (ME, EE, CE, SYS) and computer science students at Oakland University using modern engineering design tools. This paper describes the laboratory for this course in which students design digital circuits using ABEL and implement them on a Xilinx 95108 CPLD. The course material introduces combinational and sequential components and emphasizes their roles in digital design including datapaths and state machines.
