Description :  

Explores designing with single-chip microcomputers and microcomputer interfacing. Topics include role of microcomputers compared with microprocessors and other computers, microcomputer architecture and organization, real-time control issues, assembly language programming for control, design of control software, input/output methods, design tools, and available single-chip microcomputers. Students select project and design, and construct system including single-chip microcomputer and ancillary hardware to implement control system. Notes: This course is highly recommended for ECE 492/493 students interested in using microcontroller technology in their senior design projects. It should be taken before ECE 493. Offered by Electrical & Computer Engineer. Limited to two attempts.
