Synopsis:

In this course, students will learn design principles for combinational and sequential digital circuits, using TTL components as well as field programmable gate arrays. The functional design using standard mathematical description and VHDL will be used for designing and realization of various digital circuits. The laboratory classes will be arranged as a set of laboratory tasks and practical examples. Some laboratory lessons will be focused on VHDL and its application for realization of basic digital circuits using FPGAs, their simulations and emulations as well as creating more advanced digital blocks.

Requirements:

The prerequisite is the knowledge on basic mathematic operations at the high school level.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction to FPGA and VHDL. Simulation and HW implementation. First project on FPGA.

2. Boolean algebra, logical gates and functions. Truth tables. Karnaugh maps. Binary number system.

3. Combinational logic circuits (Boolean expression). Circuits with hysteresis and feedback loop. Selected circuits - full adder.

4. VHDL syntax - program structure, ports, architecture, variables. Boolean expression and behavioral design in VHDL.

5. Hardware and software platforms for VHDL. Creating a project in Xilinx Spartan vs. Notepad++/GHDL/GTKWave.

6. Processes and signals in VHDL. Sequential vs. concurrent statements in VHDL. Case-when, if-elsif, with-select instructions in VHDL. Concatenation of variables. Vectors.

7. Static and dynamic hazard. Selected functional blocks. Decoder, 3-state logic, multiplexer.

8. Mid-term test.

9. Public holiday – no classes.

10. RS latch, D and JK flip-flops. VHDL - working with clock.

11. Synchronous sequential finite state Moore machine. Transient and output functions.

12. Solving tasks (locking system, coffee machine, delaying circuit for bubls). Case studies in VHDL.

13. Sequential Mealy machine. Modulo counters, frequency dividers, shift registers. Universal model of a Mealy machine in VHDL.
