Course Handouts and General Information:

• Syllabus.pdf
• nexys2_reference_manual.pdf - the Digilent Nexys2 Board Reference Manual
• verilog-handbook.pdf. This is a concise overview of the Verilog programming language.
• realize-verilog.pdf. Gives a functional view of Verilog; i.e. if you want to build RTL circuits, this shows how. However, it confuses blocking/non-blocking assignments (calls "=" non-blocking and "<=" blocking). Otherwise, it is a decent overview.
• A Crash Course in C Programming. Not that we are going to program in C in this class ... it is just a useful reference.
• spartan3_hdl.pdf - Documentation on the Spartan-3 libraries. This is a useful reference for working with the Spartan FPGA, as it provides a number of already-built modules for you to use, including block RAMs, I/O devices, multipliers, etc.

Data Sheets and Equipment Manuals:

• DLA Tutorial.docx. DLA tutorial for Lab 2.
• Nexys2_500General.ucf. The User Constraints File for the Nexys2 FPGA board ... useful for all Verilog/FPGA labs.
• DLA.docx. Information for using the Digital Logic Analyzer and a 4-bit counter ... useful for Lab 3.
• 74LS04.pdf . Data sheet for inverters.
• CD4001.pdf . Data sheet for 2-input NOR gates.
• CD4011.pdf . Data sheet for 2-input NAND gates.
• CD4030.pdf . Data sheet for 2-input XOR gates.
• 74LS10.pdf . Data sheet for 3-input NAND gates.
• 74LS153.pdf . Data sheet for the multiplexers used in Lab 3.
• 74LS83.pdf . Data sheet for the 4-bit adder used in Lab 3.
• 74LS95.pdf . Data sheet for the 4-bit register used in Lab 3.
• Lab4-2N7000.pdf. Data sheet for the n-type MOSFET used in Lab 4.

Regarding Pre-Lab Reports:

Pre-Labs:

1. Your design must include the following (as needed):
   • Truth table, logical expressions, state machine, schematic, wiring diagram
2. Simulations:
   • Add all possible simulation
   • Make sure that you have labels and that the labels are visible
   • Add a short description about each image and what are your observations or conclusions
3. Answer all the pre-lab questions

Post-Labs:

1. Your write-up must include the following (as needed):
   • Truth table, logical expressions, state machine, schematic, wiring diagram for each design
   • Include some brief description of your circuit in terms of schematic or logical expression along with simulation results, to make the report easy to read
2. Observations:
   • Add all possible observations suggested in the Lab Manual
   • Make sure that you have labels and that the labels are visible
   • Add a short description about each image and what are your observations or conclusions
3. Answer all the post-lab questions

Please contact your TA if you have any questions.
