What does the word synchronous digital circuits refers to?

Requires clock to work

What is the difference between a positive logic versus a negative logic for digital circuit?

Positive logic uses high voltage to represent binary 1 and low voltage to represent binary 0 while negative does the reverse

What happen when sampling is performed below Nyquist rate?

Aliasing will occur

What is the purpose of quantisation?

Convert an analog sample to a discrete digital value.

Which of the following would you consider to be the biggest disadvantage of digital signal representation?

Digital data are easily copied, hence requires additional data protection.

Given a minimum period for a signal is 1.5 ns, what is the most appropriate sampling frequency.

78mV

What is the main trade-off when you sampling at much higher frequency beyond Nyquist rate?

Larger file size

Which are the follow are correct when describing about virtual machine (VM) and container? (select all that apply)

Which of the following is NOT a task of an operating system (OS).

Control how much RAM can be installed on a computer hardware.

Computer and mobile devices have RAM that are usually volatile, what does this mean?

The content of the RAM are lost after power off.
