Course EDA Tools 1 (WS)
The course EDA-Tools takes two semesters and is based on the knowledge acquired form lectures of circuits and systems such as design, modeling, description and synthesis of complex systems by using commercial design tools. The course consists of lecture, Exercise and Practice session.

Information for practice labs
The course EDA-Tools takes two semesters (generally the 7th and 8th semester) and is based on the knowledge acquired form lectures of circuits and systems like design, modeling, description and synthesis of complex systems by using commercial design tools. The course consists of Lecture, Exercise and practice session.
To attend the practices, please go to OPAL and enroll for
- the exercise ("Subscription to EDAT exercise") and
- a practice group ("Subscription to practice")
You have to solve preparation tasks for each practice session. Please download the practice material in OPAL ("Folder for documents") and answer the preparation questions in written form. Bring the answers with you to the practice session. If you cannot show the solutions at the beginning of the according practice session, the practice attendance will be refused!
Practice Dates
Please refer to the OPAL practice group descriptions for practice dates. They are not equal to the official practice dates in the timetable!
