- Synopsis:
-
After the short introduction into structure and technology of programmable circuits (especially the CPLD and FPGA), the lectures are devoted to the VHDL and its usage for simulation and synthesis of digital circuits. Laboratories are focused on CPLD and FPGA circuit applications and on the used of SW instruments for programmable hardware design and simulation. Within the larger project implemented in the second part of laboratories a complete device (system on the chip) is implemented in the FPGA or CPLD circuit. Students may choose from the list of project or they can bring their own (even a group projects are possible). Development boards with FPGA (or CPLD) are available.
