Digital Design with HDL

The second semester course "Digital Design with HDL", course number ISCD-2.03, gives an introduction on the design of digital integrated circuits using Hardware Description Languages (HDL), particularly using VHDL.

The course includes lectures,  homeworks and a project assignment. 

Major Topics are:

  • Usage of Hardware Description Languages (HDL)
  • VHDL for synthesis
  • HDL verification issues
  • Low Power Design methods at HDL level
  • Intellectual Property (IP) issues

Prerequisites for this course are the completion of all courses of ISCD first semester, a working knowledge of VHDL (this course is not a VHDL lecture!) and a working knowledge of the digital tool flow at CUAS.

Responsible for this course:  Manfred Ley
Course number: ISCD-2.03
