Physical electronic circuits and systems are plagued by a number of undesired effects that the designer need be aware of in order to implement operational electronics. Electrical noise and non-linearity, for instance, limit signal dynamic range; dynamic power supply currents can lead to corruption of digital data; electromagnetic interference (EMI) can cause system malfunction; parasitic components limit the operating frequencies of all circuits.
