Laboratory For The Introductory Digital Course

This lab entails practical studying and designing of simple logic gates, combinational logic circuits (adders, multiplexers, decoders, etc.), memory elements (flip-flops), and sequential logic circuits (state machines).The student will design, build, and use his/her own logic circuits.Logic designs will be done using computer-aided design (CAD) tools and implemented using complex programmable logic devices (CPLD).In this laboratory, digital logic circuits will be designed and implemented using the Foundation Series Software and the XC95108PC84 CPLD from Xilinx, Inc.In the later part of the course, students are introduced to VHDL hardware descriptive language.
