Switched capacitors: a bridge between analog and digital SP

Switched capacitor filter design is a hybrid technique. An occasional subject in both the analog circuit and DSP courses, we have made use of it in order to introduce digital filter concepts from an analog signal processing perspective. Laboratory assignments put into practice sampling effects and IIR filter design issues, such as analog to digital conversion or cascade realization. Distortion and noise become allies to sharpen student perception. A PCB design that meets some given specifications turns into an accomplished challenge. That means self confidence to keep on track.
