Course Design of Digital Systems (WS)

The course Design of Digital Systems is based on the knowledge acquired from lectures of circuit and system design. Focus of this course is on design, modeling, description and synthesis of complex systems by using commercial design tools. The course consists of lecture, exercise, practice sessions and a seminar.

Information for practice labs

All lab tasks have to be done at home via remote access to our servers. This procedure will be explained in the first exercise unit. Additionally, it is possible to work on-site in our lab rooms on request.

Be sure to attend our lab introduction class (see schedule below) as we explain login procedure and other organizational things.

It is possible to get individual consultation on the lab tasks. Please contact us using the Email feature in OPAL in case.

To pass one lab task, you have to submit:

  • the preparation tasks as well as
  • the lab solution.
Please submit to the individual supervisor (see task sheets).

Deadline is 13.01.2025. Submit earlier for individual feedback and a second chance in case of there are major problems in your solution.
