ECE3730J – Design of Microprocessor Based Systems
Instructors:
Credits: 4 credits
Pre-requisites: ECE2700J Obtained Credit&&ECE3700J Obtained Credit
Description:
This course is designed to cover different aspects of microprocessor-based system, and consists of both lecture and laboratory sessions. Topics include microprocessor memory map, software development, simulation, debugging and testing; hardware and software interfacing; principles of interrupts; peripheral configuration and control for Timers, UART, ADC, PWM, I2C, and other external devices. Experiments with specially designed laboratory facilities will help students to develop skills for embedded software development using assembly and C programming languages.
