Condition
The goal		Introduction to advanced "front end" design methodologies of VLSI systems, languages for hardware description and programmable components. Understanding of digital system complexity and modular designing. Training for work with advanced software packages for designing of VLSI systems and implementation in FPGA chips.
The outcome		Students had the advanced knowledge of the front-end design techniques of VLSI systems and ability to design and implement a VLSI system in FPGA.
Contents
Contents of lectures		Hardware description languages, standard, system level design languages. Verilog HDL, VHDL vs. SystemC, System Verilog. A flow diagram of HDL design. Levels of designing, time parameters. Advanced constructions of VHDL.Reusable VHDL code. Design for testability, Automatic test pattern generation (ATPG). Programmable logic devices: a review of current FPGA families. Practical aspects of designing.
Contents of exercises		Lab exercises, making of a project using HDL (VHDL, Verilog, SystemC, System Verilog) and an FPGA implementation (Xilinx or Altera development boards).
