Here is a picture of a cont<strong>in</strong>uous signal:<br />

and its digital representation:<br />

Because we are <strong>in</strong> the digital world, the outputs of our modules cannot change<br />

values cont<strong>in</strong>uously. On the other hand, we don’t have to limit ourselves to<br />

chang<strong>in</strong>g values at regularly spaced po<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong> time. For one th<strong>in</strong>g, we do not<br />

have to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> a particular sampl<strong>in</strong>g rate all over our structures. For another<br />

th<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong> certa<strong>in</strong> areas of our structures we do not even have to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> any<br />

sampl<strong>in</strong>g rate at all; that is, our changes do not have to happen at regular<br />

<strong>in</strong>tervals.<br />

For example, at time zero the output of our adder could have a value of 5. The<br />

first change could occur at time 1 ms (one millisecond). The second change<br />

could occur at 4 ms. The third at 6 ms:<br />
