Integrated Electronic Systems Lab (ESL), The Technical University of Darmstadt (TUDa)
The Technical University of Darmstadt is one of Germany’s leading technical universities and a synonym for excellent, relevant science. Global transformations – from the energy transition via Industry 4.0 to artificial intelligence – are posing enormous challenges. We are playing a crucial role in helping to shape these far-reaching processes of change with outstanding insights and forward-looking study opportunities.
Our cutting-edge research is pooled in three research fields: Energy and Environment (E+E), Information and Intelligence (I+I) and Matter and Materials (M+M). Large-scale, problem-based interdisciplinarity involving the engineering sciences, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences is the hallmark of our research and study. We foster intensive, productive interaction with society, business and politics. Such collaborative polyphony generates effective, long-term progress towards sustainable development worldwide.
Since we were founded in 1877, we have been one of Germany’s most international universities; as a European technical university, we are a driving force in developing a trans-European campus together with universities from seven European countries in the network “Unite!”). Our home is the metropolitan region Frankfurt-Rhine-Main. With our partners in the alliance of Rhine-Main universities – Goethe University Frankfurt and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz – we further the development of this globally attractive science location.
The Integrated Electronic Systems (IES) Lab focuses on the design of analog and digital electronic circuits. In this context, we research applications for new technologies as well as innovative approaches for the integration of functionalities in small spaces. Examples of current research directions are novel chip and processor architectures for Ising Machines / Oscillatory computers, Extreme low power memory interfaces, fully integrated optical and ultrasound harvesters and applications especially in automotive and industrial applications (such as sensor integrating machine elements).
Within the GreenChips-EDU project, we offer the following digitalized online courses:
- Computer Aided Design for Systems on Chips (CAD4SoC)
- Circuit Building Blocks for Communication Systems (CBBC)
