eece 4823 - digital processor design (3) f

provides an in-depth digital circuit design experience. datapath and control path design concepts and practice, modeling and simulation techniques, and circuit synthesis are covered. design analysis, verification, testing and cost issues. single-cycle, multi-cycle and pipelined microprocessor architectures are modeled and implemented using hardware description languages and contemporary cad tools. the course culminates in a cache-based microprocessor design project using vhdl.

prerequisites: eece 2423 with a grade of “c” or higher and eece 2421 with a grade of “c” or higher.
lecture, 2 hours;
laboratory, 3 hours.
