P: EE 195, EE 266, and EE 267. An introduction to basic computer
organizations, microprocessor instruction sets, assembly language
programming, the design of various types of digital as well as analog
interfaces, and microprocessor system design considerations. Laboratory
provides practical hands-on experience with microprocessor software
application and interfacing techniques. Design and implementation of a
simple three-bus computer; detailed study of a particular microcomputer
architecture and instruction set (Motorola 6809); assembly language
programming techniques; system control signals and I/O port design and
handshaking protocols; interrupt control systems; LSI parallel and serial
interfaces; analog data and control interfaces.
