Multisim 11在可编程逻辑设计实验教学中的应用

Application of Multisim 11 in Programmable Logic Design Experiment Teaching

介绍了Mu ltisim 11仿真软件的最新功能和特点,提出将其应用于可编程逻辑设计实验教学中。通过交通灯仿真电路实例证明,利用该软件可以进行可编程逻辑电路设计,并从一个可编程逻辑器件(PLD)原理图中导出原始VHDL语言,还可以将这个VDHL文件下载到现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)硬件中,从而简化通过仿真学习到的理论与真实实现的过渡。实践证明,该软件能够帮助学生理解可编程逻辑器件的工作原理,掌握可编程逻辑器件的设计和测试方法,提高自主学习的兴趣,有利于创新人才的培养,对可编程逻辑设计实验教学改革起到了积极作用。

This paper introduces the new function and features of Multisim 11 which is a software of circuit design simulation.It is proposed and applied to teaching and studying in programmable logic design experiment.As an example of traffic light circuit it illustrates that the software can be used in PLD-circuit design.It can also change the PLD schematic diagram to VHDL language which can be downloaded to FPGA hardware.So it can simplify the process between theory and practice.Practice has proved that the software can not only help the students to understand how programmable logic device works and grasp the methods to design and measure the programmable logic device,but also to promote their interest to autonomous study.It is useful to the training of creative talents and has a positive effect on teaching reform of the programmable logic design experiment.
