Hobart
Introduction
The unit is directed at building on the fundamentals of electronics engineering acquired in the earlier years of the course. The unit will enable students to make informed decisions regarding choice of advanced digital systems and advanced digital electronic design, including the following topics:
Microprocessor and computer architectures including assembler language instruction set design.
Data path design and implementation
Memory system design and implementation.
Input/output systems
Performance analysis
Introduction to field programmable logic devices, including architectures and programming techniques
Advanced digital techniques including consideration of transmission line effects on digital design

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
TNE Program units special approval requirements.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
