Course Objectives

The complete digital logic and control of systems can be included on a single device (System-on-Chip design). This results in very high speed, very reliable solutions at low cost. This module teaches all required techniques to create SoCs with custom logic, microcontrollers and the required interfaces. The students

  • can integrate custom logic and interfaces on a single chip
  • handle integration von microcontrollers (embedded softcore)
  • can solve control problems in hardware and software.

 

Contents

  • Interfaces to sensors and actuators
  • AD and DA converters
  • advanced communication protocols
  • intellectual properties
  • embedded microcontroller, 8 bit, 32 bit
  • integration of digital components to a complete control system
  • Application examples in the industrial/scientific/medical area
