COURSE OBJECTIVES
Digital designs once built-in custom silicon is increasingly implemented in field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), but effective FPGA system design requires an understanding of new techniques developed for FPGAs. This course deals with basic digital system design, Introduction to ROM, PLDs, CPLDs, FPGA fabrics and introduces essential FPGA concepts and programming. This course is appropriate for all the students interested in digital systems applications, FPGA programming. The course covers the technological background of FPGA both theoretically as well as practical implementation of digital solutions.
A one-day lab session during the fourth week of the course adds the strong practical approach to find the solutions to digital applications using FPGAs.
COURSE DURATION : 4 Weeks
