The student is able to:
- define the basic blocks signal processing chain of ADC and DAC,
- define and explain the basic parameters of AD and DA converters,
- describe the static transfer characteristic of AD and DA converters and mark some static parameters in it,
- describe the basic blocks of AD and DA converters (S/H, T/H stages, filters, reference, etc.), as well as design of those stages,
- describe and explain the function of the various structures of AD and DA converters, as well as on the basis of given parameters to select and design the most appropriate structure for the application.
