2.3. Overview of Analog Systems

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the primary function of an analog circuit?

   Hint

   Think about what is meant by 'amplify'.

2. 2.

   Define linearity in the context of analog circuits.

   Hint

   Consider how the input and output relate in a graph.

3. 3.

   What does an analog circuit primarily do?

   • A. Store data
   • B. Amplify signals
   • C. Convert to digital

   Hint

   Think about their purpose.

4. 4.

   True or False: Linearity means that the output signal can change shape compared to the input.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider if the shape should remain the same or not.

5. 5.

   Design an analog system that needs to amplify an audio signal consisting of multiple frequencies, including low bass and high treble. What types of filters would you use and why?

   Hint

   Think about which frequencies might interfere with the sound quality.

6. 6.

   Explain how the incorporation of modular architecture in an analog system could lead to improved design flexibility. Discuss any three modular components.

   Hint

   Consider how you would approach updating a singular part without affecting the rest.
