ECE3703 - Computer engineering

Leader: G Egan

Offered

Not offered in 2008

Synopsis

The design and implementation of common digital logic families and practical considerations in logic design including design for testability asynchronous logic design, noise margin and timing constraints. A simple microprocessor architecture is introduced and this material is extended to consider how a microprocessor, memory and other peripheral circuits are connected to form a working system. The software and hardware required to interface a computer to the outside world are examined.
