Teaching Digital Logic with FPGAs – How to get started!

Because of the technical skills and costs associated with certain technologies, many schools are unable to provide these education opportunities to their students. Recent advancements in this area now allow a digital logic laboratory to be implemented in a quick, relevant and cost effective manner.

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) provide an alternative solution for educators looking to implement digital logic. An FPGA is a “chameleon” chip, and its basic structure can be modified a virtually unlimited amount of times to perform a multitude of different missions by reconfiguring the hardware through software.

This workshop is designed for professors, instructors and laboratory directors. The Xilinx, Altera and National Instrument Programs will be covered. The workshop would be provided by the FPGA Mission Assurance Center (FMAC) that has a proven record of successfully building these types of laboratory programs, and is being organized in partnership with ISTEC.

Where:                                                                        When:

FMAC Facility                                                            October 24 and 25, 2008

2350 Alamo Avenue SE Suite 100

Albuquerque, NM 87106

Investment: Registration fee for the two-day workshop is waived for ISTEC members.
