Synopsis
The module investigates the design, interfacing and performance enhancement of digital synchronous systems. In this module, you will study the circuit level design of arithmetic signal processing blocks as well as sequential systems and implement these designs using Hardware Description Language (HDL) tools. You will develop an understanding of computer … For more content click the Read More button below.
Learning Strategy
In this module the learners will engage in a blend of delivery methods facilitating both individual and collaborative aspects of learning to achieve the specified learning outcomes. In particular, this will require the learner to engage with the VLE materials where the learning is supported by the tutor-led two-way asynchronous … For more content click the Read More button below.
