1. Advanced Digital Systems Design Methodology
Dr. Tassadaq Hussain

2. Computing Platforms for Digital Systems
Application Specific Integrated Circuit [ASIC]
Fixed: No Hardware Updates
Low Power
Expensive to fabricate: >1M$
Microprocessor
Flexible: General Workload
Low Performance
Field Programmable Gate Array [FPGA]
Programmable after Fabrication
Software like Flexibility
ASIC like Performance

3. Takeaway Embedded Systems: Components of a typical ES:
Information processing systems
Dedicated towards a certain application
Components of a typical ES:
Observing: Input sensors
Computation and Communication
Influencing: Output sensors
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) = ES + Physical World
Embedded Systems Design Process
