A Reform and Exploration in the Electrical and Electronic Experimental Course Using FPGA

Focus on the problems existing in the electrical and electronic experimental teaching in colleges and universities, in order to improve students practice ability, this paper introduces the programmable logic devices in electrical and electronic experimental course.The traditional electronic circuit design is compared with FPGA design, thus it exercises the students ability of designing digital circuit based on modular, and the debugging level for complex circuits.Combing the combinatorial logic with temporal logic, we design a typical case with the dynamic display using VHDL language.This case can be used as a template for other unit circuit design, and highlights the flexibility of designing a hardware circuit based on a hardware description language.Practice shows that the case teaching method, as an interactive teaching method, enhances students’ interest in learning and makes students take part in learning actively and improve students comprehensive ability of cognition and solving problems.
