Emphasis on problem definition, design, and verification. Three credits of engineering design. Motorola, M68HC11 Reference Manual, Prentice Hall, 1989. Reference Manual, B2L Company, 1993. Specifically, the students should be comfortable with designing small microprocessor systems for dedicated applications.
Students gain design experience through examples in class, homework problems and design projects.
Emphasis is on applicable design methodologies, documentation of design, and testing designs. The students are introduced to the M68HC11 as well as a general methodology for designing with other processors. Computer System Architecture. General Introduction including design methodology, review of recommended TTL chips, use of computer aided design tools, and documentation. This topic includes use of the M68HC11 Evaluation Board in the lab.
