Description

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.

Learning Outcomes

  • At the conclusion of this course you should be able to:

  • LO1: Analyse the electrical and performance characteristics of CMOS devices (WA1, WA2, WA3, WA4, WA5)

  • LO2: Apply signal integrity and electromagnetic compatibility considerations in the design of embedded systems (WA1, WA2, WA3. WA4, WA5)

  • LO3: Program and design interfaces for peripherals used with microcontroller systems (WA2, WA3,. WA4, WA5)

  • LO4: Select and configure embedded hardware peripherals from understanding of their operating principles and characteristics (WA2, WA3, WA4, WA5)

  • LO5: Design, build, program, debug and evaluate a microcontroller-based embedded system using multilayer printed circuit boards in individual and team environments (WA2, WA3, WA4, WA5, WA9,WA11, WA12)

      • University Graduate Attributes

      This course will provide students with an opportunity to develop the Graduate Attributes specified below:
