| 01/6/09 | Welcome to EE108A! Please check the schedule page for the for the first readings. |
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.
There is no required text. The course will be taught from class notes handed out periodically throughout the quarter. Readings assigned for a particular day should be completed before the start of class on that day.
For more administrivia, see the schedule and course policy.
