DAT093 Introduction to electronic system design lp1 HT19 (7.5 hp)

This course is offered by the department of Computer Science and Engineering.

Course purpose

The overall aim of this course is to introduce the student to the design and verification of electronic systems. Although the course focus is on the digital-hardware part of system design, this course also treats other issues that arise in modern system design.

Learning objectives and syllabus

Learning objectives:

• Suggest technology platforms (FPGA, ASIC, software on processor, PCB, ...), based on parameters such as design, production, and power costs for different technologies.
• Describe the implementation steps required for the design, verification, and test of a complex  electronic system, and how these steps are related to each other.
• Describe alternative implementation strategies for important hardware functions and select among strategies based on performance requirements and costs.
• Discuss power delivery and heat removal in electronic systems, and how these design aspects can influence the choice of implementation strategies.
• Implement digital parts of an electronic system, using hardware description languages (HDLs) and test benches as well as basic Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, such as HDL simulators and synthesis tools.
