Course objectives
Main aim of this course is understand and master theoretical knowledge necessary for design high-performance digital systems. The lessons are specialized in particular into following topics:
- application of the fundamental design components;
- principle of the modular systems design methodology;
- principle of the external devices connecting.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- explain requirements for implementing various memory addressing methods;
- evaluate the effectiveness of implementing different types of CACHE memorïes;
- control direct memory access;
- operate the basic interrupt system;
- control auxiliary counters and registers of single-chip systems;
- implement and control the input and output circuits of the basic digital systems;
- implement A/D and D/A converters into a simple digital system structure;
- implement basic control and diagnostic tools into simple digital systems.
