One of the first steps in any HDL project is to define its scope by naming each input and output.

In HDL, one of the strategies used in strategic planning is to find the speed requirements.

In the digital clock project, a MOD-60 BCD counter is made from a MOD-10 counter cascaded to a MOD-6 BCD counter.

In the digital clock project, when it is 11:59:59, AND gate 1 detects that the tens of hours is 1 and the edge trigger clock moves the display to 12:00:00.

Top-down design means that we start at the highest level of the hierarchy, or that the entire project is considered to exist in a closed dark box with inputs and outputs.

When coming up with a strategy for dividing the overall project into manageable-size pieces one must ________.

In HDL, one of the strategies used in strategic planning is to find a way to test each piece of the project.

In the keypad encoder, the ring counter is implemented using ________ that responds to the clk input.

The timing and control block provides the ________ for the frequency counter.

In the digital clock project HDL code, the MOD-12 counter is using ________.

A very critical dimension in project management is ________.

In the digital clock project, the 1 pps signal is used as a synchronous clock for all of the counter stages, which are ________.

The wave-drive sequence of a stepper motor has more torque and operates more smoothly than the full-step sequence at moderate speeds.

In the keypad HDL encoder, the ts bit array represents a tristate buffer.

The full-step sequence always has two coils of the stepper motor energized in any state of the sequence and typically causes 30° of shaft rotation per step.

In the keypad HDL encoder, after releasing a key the ring counter resumes its counting sequence.

The frequency counter measures frequency by enabling a counter to count the number of pulses of the incoming waveform during a precisely specified period of time called the sampling time.

VARIABLES are considered to be updated ________ within a sequence of statements in a PROCESS, whereas SIGNALS referred to in a PROCESS are updated when the PROCESS ________.

The major blocks of the frequency counter are the counter, ________, decoder/display, and the timing and control unit.

A very critical dimension in project management is the time your boss will give you to complete the HDL project.
