This course will appeal to engineers who have an interest in developing low cost products particularly in high volume markets. The course and exercises cover several different design techniques, which will be interesting and challenging for any digital designer regardless of the final application.

Who Should Attend:
Engineers wanting to develop low cost products, particularly in high volume markets, and product designers who need to accurately estimate the size of devices required to implement products to predict costs without requiring the actual design to be implemented.

Prerequisites:

• An understanding of digital logic design and the concept of an FPGA.
• An appreciation of VHDL and CAE design flows is beneficial, but not vital.

Course Outline:

• Utilizing fabric resources for maximum logic density.
• Efficient FPGA design practices.
• Optimal FPGA memory resource usage.
• Associated demos and mini labs.
