EE-334: Digital systems design

Résumé

Students will acquire basic knowledge about methodologies and tools for the design, optimization, and verification of custom digital systems/hardware. They learn how to design synchronous digital circuits on register transfer level, analyse their timing and implement them in VHDL and on FPGAs.

Andreas Peter Burg

Andreas Burg was born in Munich, Germany, in 1975. He received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in 2000 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland. He then joined the Integrated Systems Laboratory of ETH Zurich, from where he graduated with the Dr. sc. techn. degree in 2006. In 1998, he worked at Siemens Semiconductors, San Jose, CA. During his doctoral studies, he was an intern with Bell Labs Wireless Research for a total of one year. From 2006 to 2007, he held positions as postdoctoral researcher at the Integrated Systems Laboratory and at the Communication Theory Group of the ETH Zurich. In 2007 he co-founded Celestrius, an ETH-spinoff in the field of MIMO wireless communication, where he was responsible for the ASIC development as Director for VLSI. In January 2009, he joined ETH Zurich as SNF Assistant Professor and as head of the Signal Processing Circuits and Systems group at the Integrated Systems Laboratory. In January 2011, he became a Tenure Track Assistant Professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) where he is leading the Telecommunications Circuits Laboratory in the School of Engineering. In June 2018 he was promoted to the role of a Tenured Associate Professor. In 2000, Mr. Burg received the Willi Studer Award and the ETH Medal for his diploma and his diploma thesis, respectively. Mr. Burg was also awarded an ETH Medal for his Ph.D. dissertation in 2006. In 2008, he received a 4-years grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) for an SNF Assistant Professorship. In his professional career, Mr. Burg was involved in the development of more than 25 ASICs. He is a member of the IEEE and of the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP).

High-level design

High-level design (HLD) explains the architecture that would be used to develop a system. The architecture diagram provides an overview of an entire system, identifying the main components that would be developed for the product and their interfaces. The HLD can use non-technical to mildly technical terms which should be understandable to the administrators of the system. In contrast, low-level design further exposes the logical detailed design of each of these elements for use by engineers and programmers.

Électronique numérique

L'électronique numérique concerne le système ou la technologie appliquée dont les caractéristiques sont exprimées par des valeurs de nombres, en anglais digital signifiant « chiffre ». La meilleure fiabilité lors de la transmission des signaux numérisés procure en principe, un contrôle de bout en bout de la chaîne des signaux. Le mode numérique permet de s'affranchir le plus souvent du bruit de fond, des parasites et autres artefacts lors de la transmission et améliore notamment le rapport signal sur bruit.

VHDL

VHDL est un langage de description de matériel destiné à représenter le comportement ainsi que l'architecture d’un système électronique numérique. Son nom complet est VHSIC Hardware Description Language. L'intérêt d'une telle description réside dans son caractère exécutable : une spécification décrite en VHDL peut être vérifiée par simulation, avant que la conception détaillée ne soit terminée.

Field-programmable gate array

A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured after manufacturing. The FPGA configuration is generally specified using a hardware description language (HDL), similar to that used for an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Circuit diagrams were previously used to specify the configuration, but this is increasingly rare due to the advent of electronic design automation tools. FPGAs contain an array of programmable logic blocks, and a hierarchy of reconfigurable interconnects allowing blocks to be wired together.

Register Transfer Level (RTL) est une méthode de description des architectures microélectroniques. Dans la conception RTL, le comportement d'un circuit est défini en termes d'envois de signaux ou de transferts de données entre registres, et les opérations logiques effectuées sur ces signaux. Le RTL est utilisé dans les langages de description matérielle (HDL) comme Verilog et VHDL pour créer des représentations d'un circuit à haut niveau, à partir duquel les représentations à plus bas niveau et le câblage réel peuvent être dérivés.
