Course Description: Lectures and labs on digital logic, flipflops, PALs, FPGA's, counters, timing, synchronization, and finite-state machines prepare students for the design and implementation of a final project of their choice: games, music, digital filters, wireless communictions, graphics, etc. Extensive use of Verilog for describing and implementating digital logic designs. Students engage in extensive written and oral communication exercises. Six extra units possible via registration for 6.905 after project proposal. 12 Engineering Design Points.
