EC361 Microcomputer-Based Design
Catalog Data & Credits (Recitation-Lab-Total)
EC361 Microcomputer-Based Design (3-2-4): A principles-based foundation to the analysis and design of systems using microprocessors. The student will acquire a detailed understanding of the architecture and instruction set of a representative microcontroller, assembly and C programming languages, and the use of interrupts. The student will design and build circuits with both digital and analog components and will learn to use timers, asynchronous serial communications, parallel communications, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, and pulse-width modulators. The derivation and use of design equations to achieve desired behavior is emphasized.
