Electronics for Digital and Analog Systems

Automation and Computer Systems
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    This course offers a comprehensive introduction to Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) and Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs), essential components in modern electronic systems. Students will explore the fundamental principles of signal conversion, types and architectures of converters, key performance parameters, sampling theory, quantization, and practical design considerations. The course combines theoretical foundations with practical applications, including simulations and lab exercises, to provide a balanced understanding of how analog signals are converted to digital form and vice versa.
  • ProgramaProgramme
    Content Description: Comparator-mode amplifier Digital circuits and operations with binary numbers Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) Classical ADC topologies Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) Classical DAC topologies in voltage and current mode Two and four-quadrant multipliers, and the Gilbert multiplier  
  • ObjectivosObjectives
    By the end of the course, students will understand: the theoretical foundations of analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion, including architectures, performance metrics, and system applications. They will acquire skills to analyze specifications, apply sampling and quantization theory, and design basic converter circuits using simulation tools. Competences developed include: Integrating converters into mixed-signal systems Solving interface-related engineering problems, and communicating technical information effectively. Knowledge of the state of the art.
