| Summary | The students will design and analyse the analogue and digital
sampling components for a speech digitiser circuit.
The fundamental characteristics of the digital signal abstraction
are investigated along with the properties of basic logic
function gates. Using a progressive modular approach, simple
arithmetic and control function hardware is constructed and its
performance measured and analysed.
The laboratory lays the foundation for measurement, analysis
and interpretation of the performance of digital systems
studied in later years. The content is directly linked to the
course Digital System Design 2. |

Learning Outcomes
Be familiar with the design and testing of analogue electronic
circuits.
Understand the use of analogue-to-digital converters to sample
analogue signals.
Development of skill in the recording of laboratory
investigations and the use of records in the inference of knowledge.
Understanding of key features of the digital signal and its
fundamental interactions with combinational and sequential
gates.
Understanding of the meaning and significance of worst-case
performance specifications.
Ability to measure and recognise circuit-level failures resulting
from incorrect use of design constraints.
Ability to diagnose abstraction-level design errors from analysis
of circuit-level measurements.
Appreciation of the significance of modularity and iterative
structure in digital design.
Appreciation of the significance of alternate abstraction-layer
design choices on the physical properties of resulting
hardware.
