Conceptual Design[]
Functional Description[]
This should give an overview of what this block is trying to achieve. e.g:
The low-pass filter eliminates high frequency noise by creating a break point at frequencies above those that humans can hear. Minimum ripple in the pass-band is desired to avoid distorting the audio signal.
Block Diagram and Description[]
This can include a block diagram, a transfer function/pole zero diagram and a description of any diagrams. e.g:
The low-pass filter is a first order RC circuit with the following transfer function:
Design Parameters[]
This should include as much information as possible. These parameters will be a combination of both restrictions placed upon the designer by other parts of the circuit, and properties of your block for the benefit of those designing blocks adjacent to yours.
