- Course objectives
- The main aim of this course is to understand and master theoretical knowledge and practical virtuosity necessary for design high-performance digital systems. The lessons are specialized in particular into the following topics:
- application of the modern design components;
- the methodology of the modular systems;
- connecting with external devices. - Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course, students will be able to:
explain the principle of assembling powerful and functionally;
reliable digital system structures;
design a reliable digital system using contemporary design elements;
work with external devices connected to digital systems;
work with the MIPS instruction set; - Syllabus
