Since 1970, computer aided circuits simulation or circuits design has been stuided. At that time, the size of a circuit was under 1000 gates and SPICE program was proposed for the first time. In the year of 1980, the CAD program was upgraded to CAE with numerical computing power. The size of a circuit was in the range of 10,000 to 100,000 gates and schematic capture or logic simulation was utilized. In the year of 1990, an electronic design automation using a hardware description language is used widely.
Such wide use of a hardware description language is apparent so that it is necessary to develop a courseware of the language for the effective and efficient learning.
In this paper, the courseware targets to the integrated education of a digital system analysis. a design theory, and a hardware description language training.
In order to achieve the integration, the learning of a digital system analysis, that of a design theory, and the training of a hardware description language is simultaneously performed.
This paper consists of two subjects. One is that the learning of a digital system analysis, that of a design theory, and the training of a hardware description language is simultaneously performed. The other is that the courseware is running on CD-ROM title. To learn the hardware description language, the explanation using sound or moving images, setting-up of a simulation or a synthesis program., and simulating are executed on a CD-ROM title. And also, we proposed an integrated education systems for the hardware description language. It consists of the presentation systems and the experiment systems. The theory presentation systems supports multimedia display functions.
