CPE 360 - Microprocessor Systems and Design

Institution:

Western New England University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: CPE 310,CPE 330, and CPE 271. This is an introductory course in the theory and design of modern microprocessor systems. Students become aware of the basic principles of systems design, including hardware, software, and systems integration. The Intel 8088 processor and support chips are utilized in the design, fabrication, and test of a complete working system. Students design memory mapped systems which include non-volatile (EPROM, FLASH, etc.) and volatile (RAM) memory. In addition, students also design I/O mapped subsystems, supporting both parallel (8825) and serial devices (8251). Students become aware of bus timing and loading considerations. To facilitate student understanding, a semester long, incremental design project is employed. As a result of building their own embedded system, the student will understand the design, construction, and test issues presented by any embedded computer system. The methods of assessing student learning in the course include quizzes, exams, lab reports, and lab demonstrations. 3 cr. Note: Courses that are numbered 4xx / 5xx are available to entry level graduate students and seniors taking the course as a 400 level elective. The courses designated at the 500 level are generally provided for graduate students who may require a stronger foundation in a subject area before proceeding to 600 level courses. Separate syllabi are provided for each section that reflects the differences in expectations for seniors (400 level) and entry level graduate (500 level) students. Graduate students can expect additional journal research.
