An electronic character recognition systems is required to detect the presence of characters ‘a’, ‘b’, ’c’ and ‘d’ in texts. The characters are coded as given below in the coding table. The system process 4 bits of data at a time from an input stream of data. Coding Characters 0000 a 0001 b 0010 c 0011 d Design an electronic system that performs the above detection from the character stream for this specific application: 1. The design should include the following: i. Development of the logic for the above detection. ii. Stick diagram as per the standard conventions. iii. Complete coloured layout for the design. iv. Simulations showing the specified output for the given inputs. 2. Critically analyze and compare this design, with the design that can be obtained through implementing the system on Advance Programmable logic device like the CPLD’s and the FPGA’s. Note: 1. This coursework should be an individual work and outputs should be shown for verifications to instructor. 2. Suitable assumptions about lambda (λ) can be made, otherwise use default/180nm process. 3. Results to be analyzed critically and compared with the theoretical value. 4. Screen shots of graph must be attached for the simulated output. All report must be submitted for turnitin checking. The project report should be neatly typed on A4 size papers. The following shall be the structure of the report: a. Title sheet, b. Acknowledgements c. Turnitin – Similarity Index Report sheet. d. Abstract e. Table of contents f. Introduction ( Problem statement, Problem Analysis) g. Design of Logic h. Proper layout, stick diagrams and simulation graphs. i. Result Analysis and Inferences j. Conclusion k. References The maximum word limit is 2500 words 1. This work should be progressed over 4 week period. Students are expected to use the directed study hours and the Laboratory time for completing the course work. 2. Students should use their initiative to find suitable material from the following sources: a. Textbooks, Reference Books, Lecture Notes etc. b. The Library and Electronic library. c. Learned and Popular literature, relevant magazine, articles etc. d. The Internet. 3. A coursework report not conforming to the above specified will not be accepted. 4. While preparing the report, please care to see that there are no grammatical errors or spelling mistakes. 5. Late submission will not be accepted and would result in zero marks. Knowledge and understanding of the topic This is the factual foundation of the assignment. The essential facts should be accurate and broad enough in their scope to allow further application. Application and analysis of the topic (Module specific Skill) This is the way in which you analyze/ examine the factual information and how you interpret this information to add value to your answer (this could be in the form of conclusions, solutions, recommendations, etc.). It is also important to remember that the assessor must logically be able to follow the information in assignment submissions. The structure in terms of logic and coherence Submissions should have a clear start and a clear end. Information within submissions should also be logical and well grouped. Report structure, Abstract, Introduction & Referencing, Result Analysis and Conclusion & Future works. The use of relevant work examples and/or examples gained from further reading Suggestions for further reading are contained within the course work and indicated at the end of the course work. These reading lists are not exhaustive and candidates are encouraged to read further and reference at the end of the course work using Harvard style of referencing. Instructions 1. Plagiarism is a serious offence. In case of any plagiarism detected, penalty will be imposed leading to zero mark. 2. Exercises should be performed individually and Worksheets/Reports should be submitted on time and submission after deadline will be marked zero. Outputs/graphs must be verified by the instructor. 3. Report should be submitted with an appropriate cover page through online submission on CCE Learn (Blackboard) 4. Students are required to come regularly to Lab as attendance is compulsory. 5. It is the student’s responsibility to complete all the lab exercise within the stipulated number of weeks as per the academic schedule for Semester B 2017. 6. The students should come prepared with the theoretical design prior to the performing of the exercises. 7. Late performance and late submissions will not be considered and will result in marks being reduced based on the individual lab exercises as well as for the overall lab submissions. 8. The Design Exercise report should be neatly typed and check for similarity on Turnitin before submission. The report structure is given in the task description and must be strictly followed.
