An advanced course on embedded systems with an emphasis on the hardware interfacing aspects of microcontrollers. Practical issues are considered, including multilayer printed circuit board design, CMOS interfacing, signal integrity, power supply decoupling, memory considerations, and peripheral operation and programming. The course is project-based where students have to design, assemble, and program a microcontroller-based system using multilayer printed circuit boards.
