The new 6.111 "Nerd-kit" prototype. Lab kits are issued to each student to complete labs and projects. (Image courtesy of Nathan Ickes.)
6.111 covers digital design topics such as digital logic, flipflops, PALs, CPLDs, FPGAs, counters, timing, synchronization, and finite-state machines. The semester begins with lectures and problem sets, to introduce fundamental topics before students embark on lab assignments and ultimately, a digital design project. The students design and implement a final digital project of their choice, in areas such as games, music, digital filters, wireless communictions, and graphics. The course relies on extensive use of Verilog
® for describing and implementing digital logic designs.
