4746: System Design Process

Documentation

Digitally dropped into Blackboard Site

This could take one hour or thirty hours depending on your skills. I will help you avoid landmines

Homework Assignments
Two weeks to complete an assignment

No excuse for: network down, printer out of toner, computer locks up, etc.
Average one assignment due every 1 weeks. You may use solutions from previous HWs

HW assignments will overlap

HWs will build upon one another

Homework assignments will be customized

Solutions will be given for a general problem

You must have working program for full credit

Homework Assignments
HWs are self-correcting for the right answer.

Ill check for the correct solution.

Digital Drop Box (time stamped) Both you and your partner must digitally submit Only one copy of handwritten notes needed.

HW must be on time

Design Projects
Design projects DO NOT replace regular homework assignments.

You may have both due during the same week.

Hardware MUST work for more than credit

Quizzes
Designed to keep you awake. Mostly group quizzes Some individual quizzes No make-up quizzes will be given

Used to monitor attendance I will drop the three lowest quiz grades

Course Notes
All slides will be available online Exam, HW, and Quiz solutions online

EEL-4746 Best Practices

Keep up with the course!!! Complete the Assignments!!!

You will be allowed to work in groups, but

EEL-4746 Best Practices

The only way to learn to code in Assembly Language is to code in Assembly Language.

EEL-4746 Best Practices

In other words, practice makes perfect.

Design Methodology

Definition: Engineering Design Methodology

A systematic approach to achieve the desired goal of a solution to the problem (i.e. a working design) using proven principles or practices.

You must follow our 4746 design methodology to get full credit.

Design Methodology
Right Answers Violates Best Practices

Right answer but not correct solution.

Best Practices Solution

Design Abstraction
How do we describe a system?

Design Abstraction
Example: Design a system which will complement input A

F(x)

Y=A

where A and Y are single bit values We can describe this design using a logical Truth Table

A
0 1

Y
1 0

Levels of Design Abstraction

Our goal in ECE is physical or hardware implementations of the design.

In ECE, we design at several levels of abstraction

Levels of Design Abstraction

Example: Design a system which will complement input A

System Level: EEL-4746 (M68HC11)

ASM Code

Y=A

M68HC11 Assembly Language:

COMA ; Complement A STAA Y ; Store Accumulator A at Y

Levels of Design Abstraction

Example: Design a system which will complement input A

Behavioral Level: EEL-4712

Not A
VHDL code:

Y=A

Y <= not A;

Levels of Design Abstraction

Example: Design a system which will complement input A Gate Level: EEL-3705 Digital Logic Design

Y=A

Summary of Levels
System: Assembly Language Behavioral: VHDL Logical: Gates Electronic Circuit: Transistors Integrated Circuit: IC Layout Fabrication: IC Processing

Summary
All levels give you the same result. We will learn how to use the system level to its highest degree of effectiveness.
