The module aims to teach students how to design, implement, analyse and optimise advanced digital systems.

On successful completion of the module, students should be able to:
. Design a Digital System using modern CAD tools and HLS languages
. Analyse the performance of a digital system
. Optimise a digital system for performance (latency, throughput)

Modern design tools for digital system design, Review of FPGA technology, Computer arithmetic (adders and multipliers), Fixed and floating point number representations, Word-length optimisation, Memory interface, System bus interface, Timing issues in digital circuits, High speed digital design techniques
