Catalog Description
CS 150. Components and Design Techniques for
Digital
Systems. (5)
Three hours of lecture, one hour of discussion, and three
hours of
laboratory per week. Prerequisites: 61C, Electrical Engineering 40 or
42. Basic
building blocks and design methods to contruct synchronous digital
systems.
Alternative representations for digital systems. Bipolar TTL vs. MOS
implementation technologies. Standard logic (SSI, MSI) vs. programmable
logic
(PLD, PGA). Finite state machine design. Digital computer building
blocks as
case studies. Introduction to computer-aided design software. Formal
hardware
laboratories and substantial design project. Informal software
laboratory
periodically throughout semester. (F,SP) Katz, Newton, Pister.
Course Goals
- Understand digital
logic at the gate and switch level including both combinational and
sequential logic elements.
- Understand
clocking methodologies to manage information flow and preservation of
circuit state.
- Appreciate digital
logic specification methods and the compilation process that transforms
these into logic networks.
- Gain experience
with computer-aided design tools for implementation with programmable
logic devices.
- Appreciate the
advantages/disadvantages between hardware and software implementations
of a function.
