Digital circuits, digital systems modeling language

Scope

Construction and operation of diagnostic tools: Introduction to the construction, principles of operation and measurement digital diagnostic apparatus including digital oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, arbitrary generators. The use of an oscilloscope and arbitrary waveform generator for generating digital waveforms and analog waveforms recorded on the basis of using an oscilloscope. Interfaces measuring apparatus (RS -232, RS -485, GPIB, USB). The study of selected parameters of digital circuits: Using the digital oscilloscope to measure the time parameters of digital circuits (TTL, CMOS, FPGA) including propagation delay, rise time, fall time, hold time. Electrical parameters including current, voltage. Margin and immunity to interference. The boundary conditions of work of digital circuits. Diagnosis of hardware-software digital systems: Verification of signals at the outputs of digital circuits using a digital oscilloscope. The logic analyzer in the analysis of digital systems. Algorithms based on a trigger or changes in the signal values. Use of simulation results verifies the prototype stage. Diagnostic software: Use specialized software in the process of diagnosis of digital systems ( FPGAView, Chipscope Pro). JTAG interface in the analysis of digital systems. Use FPGAView software and digital oscilloscope and/or logic analyzer. Embedding test modules inside embedded systems ( Chipscope Pro). Diagnosis of DSP systems: Use the signal generator and oscilloscope in the study of digital systems implementing DSP algorithms.
