Goal of the course is to understand the basic principles of the design of arithmetic modules and digital filters at the RTL and gate level.

- Fundamentals of digital VLSI design

- Basic knowledge in digital signal processing

- Basics in MATLAB and VHDL

The lecture topics include the binary number systems, adder architectures, multipliers and dividers. This topics are followed by an introduction to digital filters explaining the basic algorithms, architectures and implementation issues. Labs, case studies and a digital filter design project provide the practical part of this course.
