This course is the study of basic circuits common to digital logic circuits such as gates, flip-flops, counters, and arithmetic circuits. Also included are mathematical concepts such as Boolean algebra. Students also study finite-state machines in process control, assembly language programming of the WDC 65816 16 bit microprocessor and its hardware system implementation. Additional topics include: dynamic RAM read/write and DMA access, hardware interrupts, I/O port addressing, peripheral interface design, microprocessor addressing modes, op codes, and arithmetic computation. The lab runs concurrently with the lecture and provides students an opportunity to learn and prove digital and microprocessor concepts by experimentation. Note: Offered at Lehigh Carbon County College campus only. Mode: Lecture and lab.
