Circuitos Digitais - Simulação de Circuitos II

univesp.br Computer Engineering - ELE300 Univesp - Virtual University of the State of São Paulo Professor: André Ricardo Fioravanti In this video lesson, we will learn about the fundamental concepts of hardware description languages ​​and learn how to use them to simulate the behavior of simple digital circuits. To do this, we will begin our understanding of the VHDL language. This week we will continue our study of Boolean algebraic expressions. We will begin with a graphical technique for simplifying these expressions, known as the Karnaugh map. This is a basic tool for the systematic construction of efficient digital circuit analysis and synthesis techniques. Next, we will present some combinational devices that are recurrent in several projects, such as multiplexers and decoders. We will conclude the week by continuing to explore hardware description languages, implementing and validating these devices. Skills and competencies By the end of this week you should be able to: -Build Karnaugh maps with 2, 3 and 4 variables; -Apply cell grouping techniques to obtain the simplified expression; -Understand what don’t care conditions are and how they influence the Karnaugh map; -Recognize the main recurrent combinational circuits and understand their uses; -Implement these circuits in hardware description language.
