| Remarks |
| |
Situation within the curriculum / speciality: This course fits in the specializations: digital electronics and computer architectures. In this course, the practical design of digital electronic systems is being trained and applied. The emphasis is on the design of complex digital systems and their implementation in FPGAs.
Relation with the work field: Modern companies often require high throughput processing in their systems based on digital electronics. This course aims at the design of digital systems that are too demanding to be implemented with traditional microprocessors or microcontrollers.
Relation with research: this course builds on the research in the area of digital electronic systems, FPGA design, system on chip design and sensor systems. |
