Abstract :
The authors describe technical aspects, organization details, and results of an experimental undergraduate laboratory based on field programmable gate arrays at the School of Telecommunication of Madrid, Spain. The target of the course has been to introduce concepts of ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) design methodology such as hierarchy, modularity, simulation, and testability, using a low alternative and a design-oriented, hands-on learning approach
