* Prerequisites: DGS2110

Objectives At the completion of the subject, students should be able to understand the analysis and design of single CPU-based embedded systems; select the topology and implementation methods for a CPU-based system to solve a given problem; and design, construct and test CPU-based systems of moderate complexity.

Synopsis This subject, a continuation of DGS2110, deals with the introduction of controlling microprocessors into digital circuits. The syllabus includes: top-down design techniques for digital systems; CPU and microcomputer structure; CPU data path and control circuit; application of sophisticated CAD tool for digital systems design and simulation. Hardware description language. Interface with and program of single-chip CPU systems .

Assessment Examination (2 hours): 60%
* Practical work, assignments and tests: 40%
