  • Digital vs Analog
  • Architecture of digital circuits (Delays, data path, control path, synchronization, data encoding).
  • Digital System Design (Microprocessors, FPGA, ASIC).
  • Fundamentals of digital design (HDL modeling, synthesis , timing analysis and timing closure, physical design, chip planning, signoff checks) Digital System Design (Microprocessors, FPGA, ASIC).

Hands-on Lab

  • Analyzing and comparing analog vs digital signals over oscilloscopes to understand the analog side of digital signals (video demonstration).
  • Building very simple processor to understand the fundamentals of digital design and the fundamentals of HDL.
