Institution:

York College of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Spring Semester This course emphasizes methods for designing real-time software and choosing hardware for embedded computers. Relevant theory and background from real-time systems and control engineering will be covered in the lectures, including event-based and clock-based sampling, switching control, PWM (pulse-width modulation), PID (proportional-integral-derivative) design, state-variable feedback, state estimation, and methods for setpoint control and trajectory tracking. Basic microcontroller, sensor, and actuator technologies will be reviewed. In the laboratory, students use tools for simulation and automatic code generation to design and build a safe, reliable and robust embedded system. Prerequisite: ECE370. 4 credit hours.
