3. 3 Catalog Description n Hardware and software design of microprocessor- based digital systems. Basic concepts of microprocessor components and their fundamental machine instructions as related to their functional performance in digital systems. The logical characteristics of the devices are considered along with the architectures and software efficiencies of component families. Both 16 and 32 bit machines are treated. Weekly laboratory exercises in programming microprocessors and an individual design project are required.

4. 4 Course Goal n Goal u To provide fourth year ECSE students with a team- based capstone experience in microprocssor system design n Means u Exploratory laboratory exercises for each microcontroller. u Team-based product design project

5. 5 Course Prerequisites n Prerequisites by topic u Fundamentals of logic design u Computer programming u Computer instruction sets u Microcontroller operations
