Summary
Subject deals with basic knowledge of microprocessor technics. In the subject there is very important to know electronics, analog and digital technics.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The student can define requirements on microcomputer control system after absolving of course. He can explain detailed function of particular parts of microcomputer control system and apply acquired knowledge at practical design of microcomputer control system. Acquired knowledge created part of basic knowledge of electrical engineer, mainly if he's centered on applications in industry electronics area.
