DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

ACADEMIC YEAR 2024 – 2025 (ODD SEMESTER)


Innovative Teaching Method Execution
UNIT – IV INTERCONNECT, MEMORY ARCHITECTURE AND ARITHMETIC

Degree, Semester & Branch : B.E, Vth & ECE


Course Code and Title : EC3552 & VLSI and Chip Design
Name of the Topic : FPGA Architecture
Name of the Innovative Practice : Flipped Classroom
Date and Duration : 18.09.2024 & 50 Minutes

Description of Flipped Classroom Activity:

Flipped Classroom is a pedagogical approach in which the conventional notion of


classroom based learning is inverted, so that students are introduced to the learning
material before class, with classroom time then being used to deepen understanding
through discussion with peers and problem solving activities.

Goals (Learning Outcomes):

 The students will be able to analyze and explain the architectural features of FPGA

Use of appropriate methods:

Justification for choosing the topic using Flipped Classroom activity:

The architecture of FPGA is easy to understand and learn. So I planned to conduct


flipped classroom activity for this topic.

Effective presentation

Details of the Implementation:


The students were given the materials one week before the conduct of this activity
and they were asked to prepare for the presentation. Then on the day of the activity, the
assigned students for this activity were asked to present the topic and their doubts were
also cleared during that presentation.

Topic Introduction:

FPGA The full form of FPGA is “Field Programmable Gate Array”. It contains ten
thousand to more than a million logic gates with programmable interconnection.
Programmable interconnections are available for users or designers to perform given
functions easily. A typical model FPGA chip is shown in the given figure. There are I/O
blocks, which are designed and numbered according to function. For each module of logic
level composition, there are CLB’s (Configurable Logic Blocks). CLB performs the logic
operation given to the module. The inter connection between CLB and I/O blocks are made
with the help of horizontal routing channels, vertical routing channels and PSM
(Programmable Multiplexers). The number of CLB it contains only decides the complexity
of FPGA. The functionality of CLB’s and PSM are designed by VHDL or any other hardware
descriptive language. After programming, CLB and PSM are placed on chip and connected
with each other with routing channels.

Advantages

• It requires very small time; starting from design process to functional chip.
• No physical manufacturing steps are involved in it.
• The only disadvantage is, it is costly than other styles.
