Application of Programmable Circuits 1

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Circuit Theory

Synopsis:

Architectures and Application of Programmable Devices is the basic course explaining architecture, function and application of simple programmable logic devices. Students use and extend their knowledge from Circuits Design Techniques in Digital Systems, learn to define logic function in hardware description languages with different design systems and try some individual designs. These designs are verified on hardware kit with GAL and ispLSI devices.
