Aims

At the end of this course, the students will be able to:

  • Understand how the digital circuits (combinational circuits, sequential circuits) work
  • Understand the architecture of programmable circuits (FPGA)
  • Synthesize and simulate digital circuits in a language such as Verilog or VHDL
  • Understand the architecture of a RISC processor
  • Use and program a microcontroller
  • Understand and implement a digital electronic system
Evaluation methods

The evaluation is based on the work during the semester and a written examination on the theoretical part of the course.

Teaching methods
  • Learning is based on courses with compulsory homework.
  • Each student has at his disposal during the semester an electronic system comprising an FPGA (Altera Cyclone IV) and and PIC32 microcontroller from Microchip.
  • This course is closely linked to the project LELEC2103: Electronic System
Content
  • Combinational logic
  • Sequential logic
  • Implementation technology
  • Simulation language and Verilog synthesis
  • Main logic circuits: arithmetic circuits, memories, programmable circuits
  • Architecture and microarchitecture of a RISC processor
  • Memories (caches, ...)
  • Architecture of microcontrollers
  • Peripherals and main communication systems
