Hardware System Design

This course provides both theory and hands-on experience for the design of digital hardware system, assuming the prerequisite knowledge on the electrical and electronics circuits and logic design. It aims to enable all students to design and implement a complete digital hardware system for themselves by applying the theory and lab. experience. Students will learn how the classroom theory of logic circuits is different from the real circuit that is affected by eletronic circuit characteristics. They will also learn the effect of signal and power integrity on the circuit behavior. In addition, this course will cover the interface with several input/output and communication devices. It will also cover other components of a system for independent operation, such as power circuitry, LCD display, and communication mechanism. As the final project, the hardware system that deals with Morse signal will be implemented.
