Microelectronics Systems

Learning objectives

By following this module, the student becomes:
- aware of the role and importance of analog-to-digital acquisition electronic interfaces for instrumentation and communications applications;
- able to identify and understand the essential electronic components of a signal acquisition system;
- sensitized to the microelectronic realization of such systems and in particular by exploiting the discrete time analog signal processing thanks to the switched capacitors technique.

He knows the main performance criteria of these components and their impact on the overall characteristics of the system; and how to use the tools of signal theory (Laplace transform, transformed in Z) for the signals conveyed by an acquisition system;
