Discrete time circuits

Course objectives

The general goal of this course is to provide the methodologies to understand and to analyze discrete time circuits, by the acquisition of fundamental mathematical tools and the comparison with the knowledge acquired in the course of Circuit Theory. SPECIFIC • Knowledge and understanding: after this class, students will be able of analyzing general architectures of discrete time circuits and to face simple problems of synthesis. • Applying knowledge and understanding: students will be able of applying learnt methodologies to more general problems, typical of Electronics. • Making judgements: students will be able of integrating acquired knowledge with those given in the whole Laurea degree. • Communication skills: students will be able of transmitting the acquired knowledge and fully explaining the processes that lead to them. • Learning skills: students will be able to manage their study in an autonomous way.
