Upon successful completion of the module, students are able to understand the concepts and structures of PLL and Clocked Circuits. The students have an insight in the connection between theoretical modeling and the behavior of circuits. Students are able to describe basic interaction between circuit specifications and the sizing and structure of the circuit.

"The course will discuss the concepts and theory in weekly lectures with Q&A session at the beginning of each lecture. Excercises for self study are given weekly and will be discussed in a separate session. Here we will also use matlab to support better understanding of the interaction between theoretical modeling and the behavior of circuits build for practical applications."

In an oral final exam (20 min), students will demonstrate their insight into the basic concepts and structures of PLL and Clocked Circuits, as well as their ability to apply them in practical design problems.
