Second, the wide availability of high gatecount FPGAs, which enables students to create amazingly complex designs involving datapathcomponents such as adders and counters, requires the teaching of many more complex componentsin a one semester course. This two-fold increase in complexity requires a redesign of the traditionalintroductory digital design laboratory to enable students to create complex designs using a rela-tively simple design methodology.Therefore, this paper proposes the use of a minimal subset of an HDL (Verilog, in this case) com-plemented by judicious use of schematic capture and its
