ECE 273 Microcontrollers
This course teaches students to design inexpensive hardware-software systems that offer a user interface, a digital signal generator, a sampled feedback controller, and subsystem interfacing. Students will: analyze a microcontroller system for timing; solve problems written in prose by showing a hardware/software system that addresses the problem; empathize with stakeholders of a medical device; teach themselves to use an unfamiliar on-chip peripheral from the manufacturer's data sheet; address power consumption/battery life; use a compiler/assembler/ simulator to develop correctly working code; use the UML to aid design work; respect the IEEE code of ethics. Prerequisites: ECE 263 and either CS 1113 or MAE 201; Corequisite: ECE 271
