Aim:
The course includes methods and tools for design and implementation of complex electronic systems. The emphasis is put on the design process.
  • Design executable models using a hardware descripition language
  • Model digital systems at different abstraction levels using an hardware description language
  • Perform a project task following a project model
  • Use logic synthesis and modelling tools to create prototypes and applications in FPGA and VLSI
  • Use VHDL for modelling and synthesis of advanced digital systems
  • Know about how IP blocks works and are used in FPGA and VLSI designs
  • Know about how FPGA circuits function and can be used


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic courses in digital circuits. Basic courses in programming.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
