FPGA Based System Design: Week 3

Uploaded by

M. Amin Qureshi
This document provides an overview of an FPGA-based system design lecture. It covers revision of combination circuits, Boolean algebra, Venn diagrams, sum-of-products and product-of-sums forms, and K-mapping minimization techniques. The goal is for students to understand basic digital logic concepts and be able to analyze and design simple logic circuits using these concepts. Waveform analysis is also introduced as a technique for simulating and troubleshooting more complex FPGA-based designs.

Learning Outcomes

• Revision of Combination Circuit


Students will be able to:
• Recall Boolean Algebra
• Understand Venn Diagrams
• Write Sum-of-Products and Product-of-Sums Forms
• Simplify Boolean functions using K-Mapping
Basic Logic Gates
Analysis of Digital Logic Circuits

We analyze logic circuits by putting arbitrary digital values


on the input signals.
Let us take x1 = x2 = 1 and x3 = 0

What would be the result of the output f ?


Analysis of Logic Circuits - Waveforms

Waveforms, although much basic concept in digital logic, is widely used in complex design and troubleshooting.
FPGA simulators use waveforms for simulation and troubleshooting purposes
