    Overview

    Digital logic circuits. Circuit simulations. Printed circuit board design. Computer interfacing. Field-programmable Gate Arrays including an introduction to the Verilog hardware description language.

    This paper provides the student with the theoretical and practical skills required for the analysis, computer simulation and design of basic digital integrated circuits. The paper is an introduction to the study of Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) digital circuits. In particular, this paper emphasises the standard design flow consisting of hardware description, simulation and synthesis using the Verilog language for combinational and sequential logic circuits and systems.

    Learning Outcomes

    By the end of the module students are expected to be able to:

    1. Interpret typical code structures provided in a hardware description language
    2. Model, analyse, simulate and design the schematics of simple digital electronic circuits
    3. Recognise different latches, flip-flops and bistable elements
    4. Implement simple combinational circuits (e.g. buses, comparators, arithmetic-logic units)
    5. Understand sequential circuits (e.g. counters and shift registers) and use them in simple projects
    6. Advance their skills in identifying, formulating and solving digital-electronics problems
