Within the scope of the course is the design of a Sigma-Delta digital-to-analog converter and its realization in a FPGA. An analog filter is attached to complete the DAC structure. This hardware chain, that is often applicable in audio devices, as example between the CD-Reader (digital) and the loudspeaker (analog), is being used to convey a detailed understanding of the design methods of digital integrated circuits and of the interface between digital and analog world.
