Anotace
After the short introduction into the structure and technology of programmable circuits (especially the CPLD and FPGA), the lectures are devoted to the VHDL and its usage for simulation and synthesis of digital circuits. Laboratories are focused on CPLD and FPGA circuit applications and on the use of SW instruments for programmable hardware design and simulation. Within the larger project implemented in the second part of laboratories, a complete device (system on the chip) is implemented in the FPGA or CPLD circuit. Students may choose from the list of projects or they can bring their own (even group projects are possible). Development boards with FPGA (or CPLD) are available. \\The result of the student survey of the course is here: http://www.fel.cvut.cz/anketa/aktualni/courses/AE0B38APH
Cíle studia
The aim of the study is to teach students to understand FPGA circuits from the point of view of their internal structure. Students will learn to program FPGA in VHDL and gain basic knowledge about the design of the so-called system on a chip (SoC). They will also get acquainted with the typical possibilities of using FPGA circuits in practice.
