Students are introduced to the basic concepts of industry-standard hardware description language VHDL into the digital design process. Students explore designing the implementation of multiplexers, registers, counters, high-speed adders, shift and logical operations, hardware multipliers/dividers, data path, control unit and microprogramming using VHDL. Students learn about different types of programmable logic devices with an emphasis on the FPGAs and cover some advanced topics in VHDL such as functions and procedures. Prerequisite: EPHY 2300 with a minimum C or better and ENGR 2000 with a minimum C or better
