Institution:

Westfield State University

Subject:

Description:

A survey of digital electronics and microprocessors. Initial topics to be covered include electrical concepts, units, circuits, semiconductors, transistors, logic gates, Boolean Algebra, simplification, logic circuits, flip-flops, shift registers, counters and memory systems. This will be followed by an examination of architectures, instruction sets and applications on microprocessors and microcomputers. Emphasis will be on computer hardware at the chip level. Interfacing to the bus and to special I/O chips will be introduced. The software content will include the use of machine language monitors and assemblers, and linking machine language routines to higher-level languages. A laboratory session will allow students to build and design simple circuits to reinforce lecture concepts. Five contact hours per week, including substantial laboratory/activity time. (formerly PHYS 0265) Prerequisite: PHSC 0127 and knowledge of a high level programming language.
