Course Description

EE 108A is an introduction to digital circuits and their applications. Topics covered in lecture are explored in weekly laboratory assignments and a three-week final project. Lecture topics include:

The lab in Packard 127 has seven stations, each with a Pentium 4 PC, a C.A.D.E.T. board from E&L Instruments, an HP 54601 digital oscilliscope, an HP 3312 function generator, and a Xilinx Virtex-II Pro XC2VP30 FPGA board.

Students implement their designs during weekly lab sessions, using Xilinx ISE software, simulate using Modelsim, and test them on the FPGA boards. Labs lead students to interface with SDRAM, VGA output and audio output.

Grading

Text and Readings
