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
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
Evaluation methods
The evaluation is based on a continuous evaluation during the academic year. The practical details are specified on the course website.
