Labs are from 12-3 in GB144/150. We will only need one of the rooms, but I don't know yet which one.
Grades for the labs are assigned according to the scale shown in the table below.
1 | Attended lab |
2 | Prep attempted but in rough shape |
4 | Prep done but design has major problems |
7 | Design has minor problems |
9 | Design works for all cases |
10 | Above and beyond call of duty: |
extra features, be creative |
There will be about 11 lab periods of which two will be used for a project of your own design.
The text is the same as for ECE253F:
Hamacher, Vranesic, Zaky, Computer Organization, fourth edition, McGraw Hill, 1996.
We will also be doing some material on asynchronous circuits. I hope the lecture notes will be sufficient, but a good reference is:
Morris Mano, Digital Design, second edition, Prentice-Hall, 1991, Chapter 9.
Midterm Date: Thursday, October 30, 5-7pm, SF4102.
The composition of the final grade is as follows:
Lab Assignments | 15% |
Lab Project | 10% |
Midterm | 20% |
Final Exam | 55% |
The Midterm and Final Exam are Type D (examiner specified aids) and NO calculators of any kind are permitted.
