EC463: Microcomputer Interfacing
Spring 2013
Course Description: EC463 Microcomputer Interfacing (2-4-4). This course provides a strong foundation in techniques for connecting computers to peripheral and communications devices and in the methodology for programming the computer to control external devices in real time. This course is supported by a project-oriented laboratory with an opportunity to use a wide variety of computer-controlled peripheral devices. The students will learn the architecture of a representative microprocessor and how to use the C programming language to program it. A major emphasis of the course is the in-depth study of interrupt processing, polling, direct memory access, parallel input/output (I/O) protocols, inter-process communication, and modular techniques for designing hardware and software. Prereq: EC262, EE313, or EE332.
