Digital Systems

This course gives you a complete insight into the modern design of digital systems fundamentals from an eminently practical point of view. Unlike other more "classic" digital circuits courses, our interest focuses more on the system than on the electronics that support it. This approach will allow us to lay the foundation for the design of complex digital systems. You will learn a set of design methodologies and will use a set of (educational-oriented) computer-aided-design tools (CAD) that will allow you not only to design small and medium size circuits, but also to access to higher level courses covering so exciting topics as application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) design or computer architecture, to give just two examples. Course topics are complemented with the design of a simple processor, introduced as a transversal example of a complex digital system. This example will let you understand and feel comfortable with some fundamental computer architecture terms as the instruction set, microprograms and microinstructions. After completing this course you will be able to: * Design medium complexity digital systems. * Understand the description of digital systems using high-level languages such as VHDL. * Understand how computers operate at their most basic level (machine language).

What people are saying

digital systems

Overall, I would recommend you find another reputable university to cover Digital Systems.

The course really lives up to the expectations and really is helpful in teaching a lot, if not all, about the digital systems.

This course has given me wonderful experience on how to use software tools for digital systems design.

I request Coursera to come up with a Systemverilog courses for design of digital systems and verification of digital systems as well.

the course is very interresting to get started with digital systems design The content of this course justifies the title, it starts from the very basic digital electronics to advanced processor architecture.

This course is very useful and will build a very strong foundation to digital systems.

It was a good experience Excellent course !.Got in depth knowledge of how digital systems and processors can be designed .

basic course for understanding to digital electronics best assignments knowledge simulating This course is a good start to understanding digital systems and completing prerequisites to learning Computer Architecture.

I got good command in digital systems, quiz makes me more interested to solve the logic and implement which is pretty good, the best materials are provided with perfect explanation thanks to Coursera.

digital circuit design

Helpful for basic understanding of digital circuit design Very theoretical, but at the same time, goes deep into real-world considerations of digital circuit design, like gate delays and physical.

This course clear my all doubts in digital circuit design.

logic gates

The course was very good in terms teaching you how to design logic gates and build a processor and use VHDL code for that.

Got full knowledge on logic gates to processor that includes verilog codes VERY HELPFUL IN LEARNING AND CLEARING MOST TOPICS BY REGULAR PRACTICE TEST Good course awesome course I have to say the English pronunciation is quit hard to understand here.

This course is an overall basic fundamental of Logic Gates to Memory which certainly need to know by everyone though some graded quiz must be improved.I recommend everyone to join this course as a begineer and for all others.Thank you Thanks for the well structured course Course content is awesome.

very nice

Graded Exercises and Practice exercises are chosen perfectly to grasp the topic Very nice course the assignments are well designed and they are very challenging to solve Nice detailed slides!

Very nice course and it is great for learning about new things.

really helpful

I was really helpful by the advance of this course.I an VLSI student got an understanding of designing of the processor.But it might have been more compact and good if the "TEST BENCH " of the design is also included with it .Thanks for your effort .

This course was great and really helpful!

It is really helpfull for the individuals who want to be perfect in digital design.
