Construct analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) circuits.

Construction should include

  • drawing the schematic and artwork of the circuit
  • using state-of-the-art drawing techniques
  • making the printed circuit board
  • printing the IC board on the back side
  • populating the printed circuit board
  • assembling components on the front side
  • testing the circuit.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What are the characteristics and applications of digital-to-analog conversion circuits?
  • How do circuits operate?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of the conversion methods?
  • What components make up conversion circuits?
  • What are the design parameters for conversion circuits?
