Digital Block Design
Design introduction
The Digital Block is the heart of this digitally controlled function generator. Symmetry and frequency variation is direct result of the design of this block. In this design the emphasis was on simplicity and some target specifications at the top of the frequency variation were compromised in order to achieve greater simplicity. This design achieves 28 frequencies in the range of 100Hz to 100kHz. Whilst the 17 frequencies from the range 100Hz to 10kHz are symmetry variable in five steps from 0.1 to 0.5. The last eight frequencies only managed to achieve symmetry variations 0.5 and 0.25. This is due to some limiting factors that will be discussed later. The table of achievable frequencies can be found at the end of this report.
User inputs are also digitally processed in this function generator and sent out as digital signals to other parts of this function generator namely the amplifier module. Also a filter selector circuit is built in after the digital block. The user inputs controlling frequency and symmetry are also built into this control block.
Therefore it is clear that the digital block can be divided into 4 distinct blocks, each with its own functionality. These blocks are the control module, counter module, filter control module and 8-bit D/A. The D/A chosen is the DAC0801LCN. It’s specifications can be found in the appendix. The layout of this design is shown below.
The interconnections will be discussed later but the thickness of the lines indicates the number of bits in the bus lines.
As the name suggests the control module takes user inputs, processes them and sends them out to the respective modules. The functionality module generates the count, varying between 0 to 255 in 256 steps or in 64 steps. The 8-bit D/A changes this count into a wave and the filter selector module selects which filter in the filter block to pass the signal through.
While extensive testing has been done on the functionality module, the control module and filter selector module are relatively simple and have not been tested due to the inability to do so. The control module consists primarily of switches and ROM’s while the filter selection module is made up of two analogue multiplexers. These modules are discussed in further detail in later sections.
Control Module
Introduction
This block essentially converts user input into digital signals. We have four user inputs coming in, and five control signals outputted, with the extra output being generated internally.
The product is renowned for its audio engine powered by 7.1 channel virtual surround audio that comes with an onboard sound processing and offload processing through internal sound card. It has noise filtering feature and a distinct amplified microphone. What makes 7.1 surround sound popular is its realistic multidimensional sound effects providing and immersive game play as it mimics the sounds perceive in the real gaming world. It uses many drivers positioned strategically to provide the right mix of sounds for more distinct user experience.
The Use of Electronic Technology in 20th and 21st Century Music In this essay, I have examined the use of electronic technology within 20th and 21st Century music. This has involved analysis of the development and continuing refinement of the computer in today’s music industry, as well as the theory of the synthesiser and the various pioneers of electronic technology, including Dr. Robert Moog and Les Paul. Also within the essay, I have discussed the increasing use of computers in the recording studio. The computer has become an indispensable tool in ensuring that both recording and playback sound quality is kept at the maximum possible level. Many positive ideas have come from the continued onslaught of computerisation.

The low cost per signal line, minimal power consumption, overall Ethernet network capabilities, and self-request maintenance allow for home/office automation, controlled machinery, system monitoring, and remote access control. With key features for industry requirements, the IRP module is an ideal tool for networking needs.

According to Sommerville (2011), the Provides interface are services provided by the component, where the Requires interface specifies what services are needed by the other components in the system to operate correctly, (p. 457). The hospital wants to improve the tracking of VOIP calls which are made within the hospital system. The emergency control room will have a system for the call-logging component which will record the calls made. The first component would be for tracking the phone calls. The Require interface can be the caller id service which feeds into the component. With the caller id service, the Provides interface will be to see the phone number calling to, the phone number calling from, the time of the call, the length of the call, and a log file to see all the calls place from a phone or all phones. To track the calls the management is going to wait to see the phones numbers of the internal calls are from and to. Management is going to also want to see the time of the call and how long the call lasted. If management believe employees are spending too much time on the phone talking and doing it more often than needed, management can pull a log of those tw...
This control is used to ensure that every existing payroll is recorded. This control can also test to ensure that the pre-numbered payroll checks are all accounted for.

It just doesn't get much simpler than the physical bus topology when it comes to connecting nodes on a Local Area Network (LAN). The most common implementation of a linear bus topology is IEEE 802.3 Ethernet. All devices in a bus topology are connected to a single cable called the bus, backbone, or ether. The transmission medium has a physical beginning and an end. All connections must be terminated with a resistor to keep data transmissions from being mistaken as network traffic. The terminating resistor must match the impedance of the cable.

The first thing that needs to be done is to know the basics of what the 8051. The 8051 refers to a microcontroller. Microcontrollers are pieces of hardware that have set amounts on its parts, like RAM, ROM, and its input and output ports. Microcontrollers are more cost efficient than microprocessors, which need separate RAM, ROM, according to the needs of the user. Microcontrollers come in handy when making embedded systems in applications so that it can control specific actions of a computer in an efficient way, in both processing and cost.
The controller works in such a way that there is a screen which displays the relevant information egarding any plane that arrives and departs with their respective speed, altitude, type and radar positions. The screen is updated every few seconds so that the current data is always available.
The second half of this chipset, the 82801BA I/O Controller Hub (ICH2) delivers twice the I/O (input/ output) bandwidth over traditional bridge architecture and provides dedicated data paths, which fully optimizes the additional bandwidth available for improved performance across the board. A prefetch cache (stores what it thinks your next process will be before you do it), integrated into the Intel i860 chipset, allows highly efficient data flow and also helps to minimize system inconsistencies enhancing stability in the board’s performance.
