VHDL
 DSD with VHDL (08.546)
Prerequisite
− Digital Electronics
− Programming concept in any high level language
 DSD with VHDL (08.546)
Objectives:
 The course introduce digital system design with a focus on Very high
speed integrated circuits Hardware Description Language (VHDL)
 The students will learn how a VHDL is used to describe and implement
hardware
 The students will learn to model common digital hardware circuits using
VHDL
 The students will able to use VHDL CAD Tools (editors, debug designs
and perform logic simulation)
 The students will able to write test benches to verify the design and
perform timing analysis of a given design.
 The students will gain the knowledge on programmable logic devices
(PLD) and their design methodologies and know about different design
entry methods

 Course works (weightage marks will be given)
1. Mid term work
− All students must develop a VHDL model
of basic digital circuit and simulate it.
2. Semester end work
− All students must develop (either in
batchwise or individual) a simple digital
system like simple microprocessor,
microcontroller, traffic light controller etc.
using the available FPGA and CPLD
