4 points + Two 1-hour lectures per week and one 3-hour laboratory per three
weeks + Second semester + Clayton + Prerequisites: As for CSC3010; additional
prerequisites CSC2010 and either CSC2061 or CSC1021 + Corequisites: As for
CSC3030 + Prohibitions: COT3100, RDT2420, RDT3700. Not available to BCSE or

Objectives On completion of the subject, students should understand how
memory and I/O devices, such as UARTs, ADCs and disks can be interfaced to a
microprocessor CPU via data, address and control buses; and the features of the
common families of logic-integrated circuits and of how chips are
interconnected to form larger systems.
Synopsis This subject covers practical aspects of digital hardware as
applied to microprocessor systems. Topics include digital logic circuits,
microprocessor organisation, microprocessor interfacing and aspects of digital
logic families. The 8086 will be used as the example of a microprocessor, both
in lectures and in laboratory work. Interfacing will cover aspects of memory,
serial I/O, analog I/O, interrupts, direct memory access and flexible diskette
I/O.
Assessment Examination (2 hours): 70% + Laboratory work: 30%
