Abstract:

The course focuses on the basics of Embedded System Design and discusses the following topics: Introduction to firmware theory, mutuality between hardware and software, and their interaction, the structure of the DELFINO processor and its assembly language,

C code writing for this processor, code optimization and validation.

Abstract:

The course focuses on the digital hardware design methodology.

The main methodological tool of the course is VHDL language that

taught its capabilities used to design digital systems.

Hardware description languages, in general and VHDL language in particular

are central to modern digital design, primarily because of the appearance of

Abstract:

The course focuses on the complex digital hardware design methodology.

The main methodological tool of the course is VHDL language that taught

its advanced capabilities used to design large and complex systems under

the strict constraints, such as speed, area, power, etc. Hardware description languages,

in general and VHDL language in particular are central to modern digital design,

primarily because of the appearance of high-density programmable components.

Here are three main reasons that make the VHDL language so powerful:

A. Using behavioral description allows handling complex designs (until millions of gates)

in a relatively easy and makes the modular design and easy maintenance and modification.

B. The design is relatively rapidly, thereby reducing costs and risks.

C. This is the standard language and use of its capabilities allows, on one hand to

achieve design uniformity (by using Top-Down or Bottom-Up design approach),

Abstract:

In today's design methodology of high speed systems,

a vast knowledge is required not only in digital ,

Analog or RF design concepts, but also in understanding the connection between

different blocks in the design , the use of current available materials

and the use of different simulation tools. In high speed design of

systems with frequencies around and above 1Ghz a design should

not only be correct on paper and in concept, it should also be applicable.

Today the complete process of design from concept to a final working product

could be simulated on conventional personal computers with dedicated software,

and save money and time.

In this course we will use high speed layout systems.

A general knowledge of the basic concepts and the behavior of

high frequency signals , will enable a deeper understanding of the PCB designers

tasks to improve signal performance in the design of

multi layered PCB in high frequency systems.

Based on well-known standards for component definition,

PCB design and manufacturing , this course will highlight and expand basic

concepts together with some lab experience , the participant will have a better

understanding of the material in hand as well as improved ability
