Design considerations for microprocessor-based systems
H.B. Rigas · 1976
The use of the microprocessor as a system element requires an understanding of electronics, computer architecture and software. This paper describes a course designed not only to provide this background but also to give the student an appreciation for the strengths and limitations of the new LSI devices. By providing a deeper understanding of the architecture of the various modules and a comparison of the underlying technologies, the course enables the student to integrate the new LSI elements into systems in innovative and economical ways. Some appropriate applications are system control, data acquisition and signal processing.
