EET 132 - Introduction to Verilog

5 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): EET 130

Corequisite(s): EET 131 or Instructor approval.

Course Description: Explores field programmable gate array (FPGAs) and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) including applications, processes for programming, DC parameters and timing analysis and troubleshooting. Applications include Sequential Logic, Latches, Flip/Flops, Timers, Counters/Registers, HDL Implementation, PLD HW Implementation, Finite State Machine Design/Analysis, and Logic Testing. Laboratory assignments and projects will focus on using the Intel/Alteras platform and Verilog programming language to implement and test designs. A 3-hour per week open-laboratory includes the application of computer tools in circuit design, evaluation, troubleshooting, and analysis. Some labs and projects can be completed remotely. Promotes and supports sustainable and green technologies.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory
