    <Content>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This unit will cover the following:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Digital system design process. EDA tools and design viewpoints. Behavioural, dataflow, and gate-level descriptions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hardware description languages. VHDL modelling concepts. Behavioural and structural architecture descriptions. Concurrent and sequential statements. Event-driven simulation.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Building blocks for digital systems: tri-state buffers, multiplexers, latches, flip-flops, registers, counters, arithmetic circuits, finite state machines.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Design methodology. Synchronous systems. Top down design. Register-transfer-level design. Test benches. Synthesis from VHDL.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Implementation issues: gate delays, timing, critical path, communication between unsynchronised machines, coping with metastability.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Introduction to Programmable Logic Devices (FPGAs, CPLDs)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</Content>
