ECE385 laboratory is required for both Electrical and Computer Engineering students. The laboratory exercises are designed to give students ability to design, build, and debug digital systems. The first half of the course uses standard TTL chips, wires and a proto board. The second half of the course uses CAD tools to synthesize logic described in VHDL, which is then mapped to an FPGA.

The course consists of ten weekly laboratory experiments followed by a four week project.

Prerequisite: ECE 110 and ECE 290.

Credit: 2 hours.
