Publisher's Synopsis
Laboratory experiments play a crucial role in science and engineering education. The goal of this book is to provide well-organized experiments that enhance learners' understanding of the practical aspects of Electronics in the laboratory. It offers a clear and comprehensive explanation of the hardware description language (HDL) used in high-speed integrated circuit programming.
The book comprises seventy-five laboratory experiments focused on Digital Systems Design using VHDL. Its aim is to help learners grasp theoretical concepts while gaining insights into designing and implementing software and hardware for digital systems or embedded systems with CPLD/FPGA/ASIC using VHDL.
The Altera Quartus tool is employed to conduct simulation, synthesis, and implementation of electronic digital hardware designs, enabling the testing of the output for each experiment within the book. Each experiment is presented as a self-contained module, comprising its objective, theoretical background, truth table, circuit diagram, programs, and results. The results section offers sample inputs and outputs for each experiment, facilitating easy verification.
The book places emphasis on synthesis, involving the compilation and mapping of VHDL code onto target devices. The primary audience targeted by this book consists of undergraduate and postgraduate students pursuing science and engineering degrees.
This book serves several purposes by helping readers to:
* Foster experiential learning through engaging in hands-on laboratory experiments.
* Acquire practical or informal knowledge that enhances their understanding of the functioning of various elements.
* Comprehend the essential relationship between software and hardware within a system
