Other classes by John Wawrzynek

An introduction to digital circuit and system design. The material provides a top-down view of the principles, components, and methodologies for large scale digital system design. The underlying CMOS devices and manufacturing technologies are introduced, but quickly abstracted to higher levels to focus the class on design of larger digital modules for both FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays) and ASICs (application specific integrated circuits). The class includes extensive use of industrial grade design automation and verification tools for assignments, labs, and projects.

Rules & Requirements

Requisites

Graduate students NOT in the Master of Engineering Program other those in EECS

Credit Restrictions

Students must enroll concurrently in at least one the laboratory flavors Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 251LA or Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 251LB. Students wishing to take a second laboratory flavor next term can sign-up only for that laboratory section and receive a letter grade. The pre-requisite for “Lab-only” enrollment that term will be Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 251A from previous terms.
