Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
- Basic VHDL
- Testbenches
- Synthesis with VHDL
- Software tools: simulators and synthesis tools
- Programmable circuits (PLD, FPGA och ASIC)
- Design methods
Intended learning outcomes
Design and evaluation of digital designs with the hardware description language VHDL using modern software tools.
The student should learn how to:
- model digital systems in VHDL at different levels of abstraction
- partition a digital system into different subsystems
- simulate and verify a design
- transfer a design from a version possible to simulate to a version possible to synthesize
- use modern software tools for digital design in VHDL
- describe principal parts in programmable circuits (PLD, FPGA, ASIC) and describe how small designs are implemented in programmable circuits

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Examination
- LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 4,5 hp, betygsskala: P, F
- TEN1 - Examination, 3,0 hp, betygsskala: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
