CEC Semester Twelve 2017

Mechanical Input Devices still play a vital role in industrial controls. Adjusting set points for process controls and switching operating modes (diagnostic/normal) on conveyor systems typically use mechanical input devices. This introductory...

This class will provide descriptions and examples of Cellular use in IoT designs. The Renesas Synergy Platform and other implementations will be described. A short description of other wireless communication system will also be provided.

Today’s lecture will walk through the steps necessary to connect the ATSAME54P20A to an Ethernet LAN. We will use the services of the LwIP TCP/IP stack to transfer raw data over the LAN.

Everything Atmel is now Microchip. The acquisition of Atmel pushed Microchip into the ARM business. Today’s lecture will introduce you to Microchip’s new SAM D5x E5x family of ARM MCUs. We will kick the tires and learn to drive the ATSAME54P20A.

We start with an introduction to the class of devices called FPGAs.  The layout and design of several types and critical parameters will be described and discussed.  It is important to understand the way the device is constructed to develop...

The flow of design tasks will be somewhat dependent on the FPGA vendor and tool set, but there are some general steps that are generally followed.  We will start with these general steps and then look at some of the particular vendors.  There are...

Algorithms for FPGAs are specified via a Hardware Description Language (HDL).  We will look at a couple of these, VHDL and Verilog.  Many design tool sets support both.  The one you use will depend on standards and skills available in your shop. ...
