6 points * 52 lecture/tutorial hours hours, 26 laboratory hours * Second semester * Gippsland * Prerequisites: GEG2533, GEG3533
This subject emphasises hardware requirements, trouble shooting and design techniques used for digital systems. A detailed study of the Motorola MC6800 family and peripherals the student to the characteristic features of a typical computer system. An indepth study of microcomputer interfacing techniques, design of interface circuits and a section on microcomputer trouble-shooting techniques familiarise the student with testing equipment. The logic development system is used to develop the concept of an integrated workstation for the design and fault finding of microcomputer systems.
