Ementa do Curso

This course presents the technology of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) by studying several representative architectures, their design tools, and their applications. The course presents also the architectures and tools of multi-FPGA systems within the context of emulation and reconfigurable computing. A highlight of the increasingly prominent role FPGAs play in system-on-chip (SOC) design is also part of this course.

After completion of this course:

· Students should have a firm understanding of FPGA technology and the relevant issues surrounding its use in system design.
· Students should have developed strong design skills necessary to synthesize and map a given design on an FPGA device using FPGA design tools.
· Students should be prepared to conduct fruitful research related to the architecture, tools, and applications of programmable logic.
