communications, PCI bus and USB interfaces, RS232 and IEEE488 protocols, ICs for peripherals integration
(PIA 8279 keyb/vdu), timer programming (8254 programmable timer).
Microprocessor systems: Simulation systems (PCSpim), hardware/software codesign, modeling environment for
microprocessor based advanced ICs (MaxPlus+II), FPGA technologies, study of contemporary microprocessor
systems (based on Pentium IV with HT), and product examples.
Special use microprocessors: Microprocessors for special use (DSP, multimedia, etc), PIC, integrated
microprocessor applications (ABS system, mobile phones, home appliances), high performance subsystems. |
| Module Aims-Objectives: |
The aim of this module is to give students an insight to microprocessor technology and their characteristics
in order to understand their use and operation as part of a system.
Upon completing this module students should be aware of the characteristics and performance potential of
contemporary microprocessors as well as familiar with their use and application in developing microprocessor based systems. |
