Course objective | It is a course designed for students who would like to reach to a higher point in digital circuit design. It includes reminders about the hardware description languages. Following this, the course has teachings in FPGA design. Synthesis is explained from the point of view of design perspective to produce more correct results in terms of digital design. Testing is also explained which is very important in providing robustness. IP blocks are also thought for the sake of fast generation of projects. Some of the topics thought are implemented in the FPGA?s. | |||||
