ECE 4163 / 6163

Course Overview

Applies VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) to design and implement computer hardware systems. Students gain hands-on experience with FPGA development boards, learning to model, simulate, and synthesize digital systems.

Topics & Objectives

• Develop curriculum focused on applying VHDL to design and implement computer hardware systems
• Deliver lectures covering VHDL syntax, concurrent/sequential statements, and digital system design
• Organize hands-on labs using VHDL for modeling and simulating computer hardware on FPGA boards
• Explore advanced VHDL features including testbenches, state machines, and synthesis techniques
