ENEE459A

Topics in Computer Engineering; CAD Tools

Prerequisite: ENEE245. Verilog or VDHL hardware description languages (HDLs) and graphical printed ciruit design CAD packages are used to create a digital system implemented on a printed circuit-board. A practical design for hardware incorporating a processor and interface devices is to be created by the student. Simulation is used to explore practical issues of system performance and device resource constraints, and a printed-circuit board proof-of-concept will be produced by the student.
