This course covers topics related to architectures for embedded processors, hardware and software aspects of interfacing, handling interrupts, low-level programming including debugging of real-time systems, and embedded application implementations. Laboratory exercises will reinforce theoretical and applied concepts using an embedded architecture and develop report writing skills. Programming experience required. This course is required for CE majors and is optional for EE majors.

Continuation of ECE 652 with emphasis on more advanced circuits including: active filters, Nonlinear electronic circuits: oscillators, function generators, phase-locked loops; clippers and peak detectors; A/D and D/A conversion, switching mode circuits. Laboratory exercises in the design and analysis of active circuits. Further advanced application of laboratory instrumentation to the investigation of active circuit characteristics; computer-aided design, analysis, and testing; development of report writing skills. This course is required of EE majors, but it is not required of CE majors.
