      • Need to know how to draw with AND gates
    • Low Pass Filter
      • Input Resistor on inverting input
      • Capacitor and Resistor on feedback
    • Packet Switching
      • Checksum is to check whether data is corrupt
      • Destination Address is to specify where data is to be sent
      • Items that could be in packet header
