IN5200 – Advanced Digital System Design

Schedule, syllabus and examination date

Course content

The course provides an in-depth coverage of systematic development, simulation and synthesis of advanced Digital System-on-Chip (SoC) integrated circuits with emphasis on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) technology. Lab assignments provide hands-on experience in how SoC design is simulated and implemented in FPGA hardware.

Learning outcome

After taking this course you'll:

  • have an in-depth knowledge of digital integrated circuit hardware design. The emphasis is on FPGA technology, but most of the design techniques can also be applied to ASIC devices.
  • be familiar with the latest state-of-the-art system on chip (SoC) design methodologies, including advanced functional verification, high-level synthesis and partial run-time reconfiguration of FPGA.
  • learn the benefits and drawbacks of the various design methods for solving a problem.
  • have knowledge in both using design tools as well as designing and debugging SoC circuits in FPGA technology.
  • have the knowledge to perform advanced simulation and synthesis of digital systems
  • be able to perform advanced implementation and analysis techniques

Admission to the course

Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for?in Studentweb.
