ΕΠ45 - Advanced Subjects in Digital Design
Information
Code : ΕΠ45
Type : Elective
Semester : 8
ECTS credits: 5
Expected Outcomes
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with modern methodologies, technologies and design flows of digital systems design. Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:
- understand in depth the technologies of digital systems such as ASIC and FPGA, their advantages / disadvantages as well as their structural and technological differences
- design, optimize and implement complex numerical circuits
- uses modern design tools and flows for the implementation of co-processors and specialized hardware accelerators
The lectures of the course will be accompanied by appropriate laboratory material for direct practical training in the concepts covered in the course
