ΕΡΓΑΣΤΗΡΙΟ ΨΗΦΙΑΚΩΝ ΣΥΣΤΗΜΑΤΩΝ (2025-2026) (ΕCE333)

The Boolean board is an FPGA-based educational platform designed specifically for electrical and computer engineering education. Based on an AMD Spartan-7 FPGA, the Boolean board includes a large collection of peripheral devices and ports, allowing countless designs to be built without the need for any other components. The free Vivado CAD tool from AMD can be used for Verilog or VHDL entry, as well as for simulation, synthesis, and FPGA programming. A single USB connection provides power, a UART/COM port, and a programming port.

 Features

The Boolean board is a configurable digital logic system designed specifically for teaching and learning digital logic design.

The board is centered on a Xilinx Spartan-7 FPGA (XC7S50) that can be configured into a virtually unlimited number of hardware circuits.

The Spartan-7 FPGA includes:

• more than 8,000 FPGA slices, each containing four 6-input look-up tables and 8 flip-flops, equivalent to 52K logic cells;
• 120 DSP blocks, each with dual 24-bit adders, a 2’s compliment multiplier, and a 48-bit accumulator;
• 337Kbytes of high-speed, dual port RAM;
• Five clock management tiles that can generate a wide variety of clock signals from a single outside source;
• A 12-bit, 1MSPS analog-to-digital converter;
• And many other circuits and functions.

 AMD Spartan-7 Product Advantage

  AMD Spartan™ 7 devices, the newest addition to the Cost-Optimized Portfolio, offer exceptional performance per watt, along with small form factor packaging to meet the most stringent requirements. These devices feature a MicroBlaze™ soft processor running over 200 DMIPs with 800 Mb/s DDR3 support built on 28 nm technology. Additionally, Spartan 7 devices offer an integrated ADC, dedicated security features, and Q-grade (-40°C to +125°C) on all commercial devices. These devices are ideally suited for industrial, consumer, and automotive applications including any-to-any connectivity, sensor fusion, and embedded vision.

 Περιγραφή

   Το ακροατήριο στο οποίο απευθύνεται το βιβλίο είναι ευρύ και περιλαμβάνει σπουδαστές πεδίων όπως η ηλεκτρονική μηχανική, η μηχανική υπολογιστών και η επιστήμη των υπολογιστών.

   Μια καθαρή και προσιτή προσέγγιση στα βασικά εργαλεία, έννοιες και εφαρμογές της λογικής σχεδίασης. Η παρούσα αναθεωρημένη έκδοση του κλασσικού, καθιερωμένου βιβλίου «Ψηφιακή Σχεδίαση» διδάσκει τις βασικές έννοιες με απλό και προσιτό τρόπο. Το εγχειρίδιο παρουσιάζει τα βασικά εργαλεία του σχεδιασμού ψηφιακών κυκλωμάτων και παρέχει διαδικασίες κατάλληλες για μια πληθώρα ψηφιακών εφαρμογών. Όπως και οι προηγούμενες εκδόσεις, η παρούσα έκδοση υποστηρίζει μια πολυμορφική, πολυτροπική προσέγγιση στη διαδικασία της μάθησης, εστιάζοντας στην ψηφιακή σχεδίαση, ανεξάρτητα από την γλώσσα που χρησιμοποιείται. Αναγνωρίζοντας ότι οι τρεις κοινές γλώσσες - Verilog, VHDL, και SystemVerilog - παίζουν οι καθεμία το ρόλο τους στον σχεδιασμό των σύγχρονων ψηφιακών συσκευών, η 6η έκδοση προσφέρει παράλληλες μεθόδους παρουσίασης πολλαπλών γλωσσών, αλλά επιτρέπει και την εστίαση σε μία, επιλεγμένη γλώσσα.

 Editorial Reviews

    Arthur C. Clarke once wrote that any sufficiently advanced civilization would possess seemingly magical powers to a lesser-advanced one. Technology, and in particular computer technology, has and always will present a Janus head to the world. While delivering enormous capability and freedom, the instrumentality by which that freedom is delivered becomes even more arcane and obscurantist to the users of that technology. The backyard auto mechanic is an artifact. We are all, including most mechanics, relegated to simply filling the gas tank, changing the oil or replacing the occasional black box. And what of those practitioners of these arcane arts, who in designing and building the devices which channel electrons to the exacting demands of industry and consumers seem to take on almost a mantle of priesthood? Any priesthood needs a catechism, and Douglas J. Smith's HDL Chip Design might well fit that role. This publication is designed as an introduction to and reference on using the two industry standard hardware description languages (HDL's) VDHL and Verilog to design, simulate and synthesize Applications-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) and Field Programmable Gate-Arrays (FPGA). Emphasis for modeling is at the RT (register transfer) level, using a top-down design method. This reviewer approached this text as a student with a physics background and an interest in glimpsing the inner sanctum of chip design and came away impressed with its clarity, depth, and no-nonsense approach. This is not a book for the fainthearted neophyte, but a challenging and rewarding introduction to HDL chip design, and a treasury as a reference book to the practicing professional. -- From Independent Publisher
