Embedded Systems ENG747
Introduction
This unit builds on the concepts and techniques of digital and analogue circuit design, and microcontroller-based development acquired in the 2nd year of the course. Topics include embedded system design utilising microcontrollers, FPGAs, DSPs and GPUs, advanced digital and analogue circuit design, PCB design and manufacture, low voltage power management design, embedded software development, digital filter and mixed signal design. In addition, students will gain an understanding of analysis and selection of architectures and systems analysis and fault finding.
