ECE 571 - Mixed Signal Embedded System

(4 credits)

This course will discuss the design and analysis of embedded mixed-signal systems. Topics include study and comparison of mixed-signal microcontroller architectures, programmable digital peripherals, programmable analog peripherals, sensor and actuator interfaces, optical and analog isolation, communication standards, and development tools. A final project will be approached in top-down fashion involving, system specification, functional partition, trade-off analysis, component design,
integration, and performance evaluation. Offered fall.
