Abstract：Digital competition responder is a typical application in digital circuit. The conventional functional is button signal input, priority key signal latch, responder ID display, answering question for timing and it has other functions. The traditional hardware design uses many devices and the connection is more complicated, furthermore, it will produce large delay, so the result is that it will cause the measurement error and make the reliability become bad. Along with the complex programmable logic device CPLD, and a field programmable gate array FPGA being widely used, based on the FPGA digital competition responder design with the development of EDA tools can greatly simplify the system as a whole, so it can improve the performance and reliability of design the system. The design gives the design of Digital competition responder input, function simulation and timing simulation and hardware test of the whole process. The design has a better portability and usability. This system's design programmed in the VHDL, compiled and emulated basing on Quartus II platform of Altera. Using the modulation, and the gradually detailing design method is of great benefit for the system's division of labor and cooperation, besides, the usage of this method can detect errors, as early as possible , in various of sub modules and system, enhancing the efficiency of the system design. The main feature of this design are: 1. accurately identificating of the signal of the first answer and latching this signal; 2. score function 3. digital display function.
