Course Handouts and General Information:

• Syllabus.pdf
• 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.
