Course Title:

FPGA based Design



Course Description:

The course FPGA Based System Design emphasizes the importance of VLSI chip design using Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) like VHDL and Verilog. With the exponential growth in the semiconductor industry, there is a pressing demand for skilled manpower capable of designing and implementing FPGA-based systems. This course equips students with the essential knowledge and practical skills to excel in the domain of digital logic design for FPGA and ASIC technologies.

The curriculum includes fundamentals of VHDL and Verilog for combinational and sequential logic design, hierarchical and modular design techniques, and creating test benches. Students will explore advanced FPGA architectures such as SRAM, Flash, and Antifuse, and engage in hands-on projects to implement real-world applications using HDL on FPGA. This course provides a comprehensive pathway to becoming proficient in modern digital design, preparing students for industry challenges in VLSI and semiconductor design.
