Digital Circuits II(4040005)

I taught this course during the second semester of 2003, in both semesters of 2004 and during the first semester of 2005.

The course is divided into three parts. The first part gives an introduction to data acquisition and Digital-to-Analog / Analog-to-Digital conversions; the second part examines the general concepts related to microprocessors and computer architecture, with emphasis on Intel microprocessors and assembler programming. The last part, which takes more hands-on hours, is devoted to the Intel 8051 family of microcontrollers.
