Spring 2011- Lab 0
Digital Systems Laboratory
ECE230L
Lab 0: Xilinx ISE Introduction
Objectives:
This lab is intended to help you get familiar with the laboratory facilities. It lays the foundation for all
future laboratory sessions. In this lab and all others in this course, you will work with the Xilinx ISE
computer-aided design (CAD) software to create a circuit schematic and perform a simulation to
demonstrate that the circuit does what it is intended to do. (In next week’s lab, you will be provided with
a BSU proto-board that will enable you to implement the circuit in hardware.)
This lab will also familiarize you with lab report creation and submittal procedures.
Deliverables:
Check-off:
Schematic capture and waveform screen capture in a Word document
Due by end of lab period
Submission:
Due by Midnight Thursday 1/20/2011
