Digital circuits are not designed manually any more. Today, digital circuits are created from a specification given in a "Hardware Description Language" (HDL) in a mostly automatic way ("Synthesis"). Depending on the level of abstraction, we differntiate differnt kind of synthesis. This lecture deals with the modelling, simulation, design of digital circuits, design of analog mixed-signal circuits, complete system on chip (SoC) solutionas and the synthesis from abstract system descriptions (High Level Synthesis).
