  • ECE 420: Embedded System Design

    3.00 Credits
    York College of Pennsylvania

    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.

  • ECE 450: Principles of VLSI

    3.00 Credits
    York College of Pennsylvania

    Summer Semester This course discusses the theory and design of digital systems at the transistor level. Beginning with the characteristics of the static CMOS inverter, this course explores alternative design techniques such as dynamic logic and NMOS design. Having established a basis for discussion, the topics of circuit delay and power consumption are introduced, with an emphasis on the problems facing modern VLSI designers, and thus the entire semiconductor industry. Finally, the course discusses the relative importance of VLSI techniques in larger scale designs, including the architectural impact of the underlying circuits. Prerequisite: ECE220. 3 credit hours.

  • ECE 454: From Verilog to Verification:Modern Computer-Aided Design

    3.00 Credits
    York College of Pennsylvania

    Summer Semester This course is an introduction to modern computer-aided design (''CAD'') of digital systems. The topics covered in this course are a combination of three areas: (i) optimization algorithms, (ii) digital design, and (iii) software tools and applications. It is suitable for students with a range of interests: from those more interested in applied theory and algorithms to those more interested in digital design. The course systematically covers some of the major automated steps used in modern CAD tools: starting from a user's high-level architectural specification for an entire digital system, down to the optimized creation of low-level hardware. Prerequisite: ECE370.3 credit hours.

  • ECE 480: Independent Study

    3.00 Credits
    York College of Pennsylvania

    This course enables a student to carry out research or in-depth study in a specialized area of electrical or computer engineering. The student carries out work under the guidance of a selected faculty member. Regular class meetings may or may not occur as part of this work. Effective independent study is characterized by a reduction in formal instruction by faculty and an increase in student initiative and responsibility in the learning process. Prerequisite: Must have completed 60 credits and minimum 2.5 GPA
