Prerequisites: EEC210





Objectives:
After taking this course, a student should understand:
  1. A/D and D/A building blocks (passive components and comparators),
  2. sample-and-hold circuits,
  3. digital-to-analog-converter characteristics, error sources, architectures, correction techniques, and limitations, and
  4. analog-to-digital-converter characteristics, error sources, architectures, correction techniques, and limitations.

Grading:
The grades will be based on four quizzes, one design project, one exam, and one oral presentation. The quizzes will be closed book and closed notes and will be held on 4/9, 4/23, 5/7, and 5/21. The exam will be open book and open notes and will be held during the last class period (Thurs. 6/4/09). Also, each student is required to give an oral summary of an instructor-approved journal article on a data-conversion topic during the final-exam time slot (Thurs. 6/11 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm). Finally, there will be about five homework assignments, but they will not be collected or graded. The weighting used for the final course grade will be:

         Quizzes        20%
         Project        20%
         Paper Review   20%
         Exam           40%
