Teaching Language
Italian (The slides of the Course are in English). Specific help for those who don't speak Italian may be provided.
Course Content
Key features of digital systems based on high speed integrated circuits will be discussed and design guidelines will be illustrated through examples and laboratory experiences. Main topics: System design criteria, printed circuit board design, design of A/D and D/A conversion systems for signal acquisition and generation. The course is integrated by several laboratory experiences.

Type of Assessment
The standard oral exam may be substituted by a written proof at the end of the Course. In booth cases, the aim is evaluating:
- by means of theoretical questions, the knowledge about main features and design criteria of a digital system;
- by means of exercises, the capability of designing, based on assigned specifications, parts of a digital systems.

Course program
Spectral features of digital signals.
Advanced electronic components used in A/D and D/A Conversion Systems for acquisition and synthesis of signals: low-noise amplifiers, comparators, CMOS switches, sample and hold, A/D (Sigma-Delta, flash, subranging and pipeline) and D/A converters. Sample design of A/D and D/A systems (Digital synthesizers). Experimental techniques to evaluate the static and dynamic performance of a conversion system. Effective number of bits.
General design criteria of digital systems. "Lay-out" probelems (current loops, block capacitors and inductors). Pronted-circuit-board design, power distribution.
Sample design of a digital system for biomedical applications, from specification definition to functional and experimental test.
Laboratory experiments: groups of 3-6 students will be in charge of designing and implementing one system for real-time signal acquisition and processing
