2020 Windisch Seminar on Microelectronics (postponed to autumn 2020)

The main topic of the first of (hopefully) many Windisch Seminar on Microelectronics is a challenge issued by FHNW to Matlab: show us whether Simulink tools really produce hardware implementations as easily as they should, at the example of a configurable CIC filter as they are used in delta-sigma A/D converters. Two more talks about the interaction of digital filters with the operation of delta-sigma converters and a networking apéro make for a very interesting day.
