Objectives

• How to go about designing complex, high speed digital systems (not just circuits)?
• How to use some of the modern CAD tools to help with the design?
• How to implement such designs using programmable logic (e.g. FPGAs)?
• How to read data sheets and make sense of them?
• How do digital building blocks (such as memory chips, microprocessors, arithmetic circuits etc.) work?
• How to interface to microprocessors and computers (from hardware point of view)?
• How to deal with testing of complex systems?
