This lab is conducted at the Computer Interfacing Lab situated at the first floor of the Electrical Engineering of the LabThe DLD Lab is for undergraduate coursework related to the course EE131. It is one of the core modules of B. Sc. Electrical Engineering therefore the lab has a significant importance in the CoursesThis lab is designed such that the students get a hands on familiarity with the concepts they come across in the course EE131 that is the Digital Systems course.

2 This is an undergraduate course which deals with the basics of Digital systems Design and is a core module of the B. Sc. Electrical Engineering coursework as it provides the prerequisites for advance courses in Digital electronics. Because of the significance of this course the DLD Lab has been carefully designed to meet the course Overview of the LabThe Lab is well equipped with both hardware and software facilities required by the students to perform the necessary experiments designed for this lab. Details of the lab equipment has been discussed in a proceeding are designed in such a way that the students become well aware of the concepts they learn in the theory sessions. A list of experiments that are conducted in this lab has also been mentioned in a proceeding are related to both Digital hardware and Verilog & CoursesDIGITAL Logic Design LABORATORY Page 4 Lab Description & ExperimentsLab DescriptionThe Experiments in the Lab have been divided into two major portions: Hardware Labs Hardware Description Language (Verilog) LabsHardware Labs have been designed to familiarize students with the Combinational Digital Logic Design and Sequential Digital Logic Design through the implementation of Digital Logic Circuits using ICs of basic Logic gates and some simple Digital Logic (Verilog) Labs have been designed to familiarize students with the HDL based Digital Design Flow.

3 These labs introduce students with different levels of coding available in Verilog Gate level, Dataflow level and Behavioral level. Xilinx ISE tools have been used in these labs. Finally, the skills learnt in the HDL labs are employed to implement some Digital Logic circuits on Spartan-3 FPGA, using Xilinx Starter Kit Development OutcomesWith the help of the two threads of the lab mentioned above, students will have clear understanding of all the three paradigms of implementation of Digital Logic circuits: Implementation using ICs for basic Logic gates and simple circuits Implementation through the Development of Dedicated IC(ASIC) Implementation through Reconfigurable Logic ( FPGA)This makes students adept in basic concepts involved in Digital Logic Design . The lab contributes a lot to the basic learning of Digital shows the indispensability of the DLD of ExperimentsList of experiments is given on page 5 and 6.

4 As mentioned before the lab has two major portions therefore there are two lists of experiments one related to the hardware labs and the other related to the hardware description language (verilog) labs. All these experiments are mandatory and each lab is followed by specially designed Lab DemonstrationA Digital Chip (inside view) Digital Logic Design LABORATORY Page 5 TITLETOPICS1To Verify the Behavior of Logic Gates using Truth Table and Familiarization with Digital Integrated CircuitsBasic Logic Gates,Truth Table,Integrated Circuits2 Implementation of Boolean Function using Logic Gatesand Introduction to Hierarchical Design of Digital Logic CircuitsBoolean Functions,Boolean Algebra,Hierarchical Design of Digital Logic Circuits3 Familiarization with the Different Portions of the Datasheet for a Digital IC and Using the Datasheet to Gather Relevant Information to Utilize the IC as a Component in another Digital Logic CircuitDatasheet of a Digital Logic IC,Hierarchical Design of Digital Logic Circuits4 Implementation of 8 bit Binary Comparator using 4 bit Binary ComparatorsBinary Comparator.

The hardware resources of the lab are: Pentium-IV PCs (with MS WinXp OS) Hardware trainers for Logic circuit Design and analysis electronic Chips of all Digital gates Spartan-III FPGA board kits Power SuppliesThese resources allow the students to have a hands on experience of basic Digital Logic Design concepts. This activity greatly leverages what the students learn in the theory ResourcesThe lab also consists of the software resources required by the students namely: Veriwell ModelSim Xilinx IDE MatlabSoftware resources are equally important as hardware resources are. These software resources are sufficient for the students to perform experiments.

8 These softwares provide the students with the necessary platform to work on HDL that is the Verilog. These softwares are also required to work with the sophisticated hardwares like Spartan-III FPGA lab has all the resources whether related to hardware or software so that the students become adept in the basic field of Digital are encouraged to use the lab resources to perform activities and experiments which help them strengthen their StaffLike other labs of the department there is a trained and able staff consisting of skilled lab technicians that take care of the lab equipment. They also guide students about handling the lab equipment and the precautionary measures required for the students while working in the Digital Circuit BoardA SimulationDIGITAL Logic Design LABC omputer Interfacing Lab1st Floor, Department of Electrical EngineeringUNIVERSITY OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY, Lahore -54890, : + 92 42 9029229, Fax: + 92 42 9250224url.
