The course is a substitute for:

Computer Peripheral Interfacing (X36PPO)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Synopsis:

This course is focused on problems of peripheral interfacing. The course learns basic principles of interfacing, modern PC architecture and particular interfaces common for many PCs (ISA, PCI, SCSI, PCMCIA, EPP, ECP, USB, IR,...). In seminars, students learn a design of peripheral circuits and principles of their programming.
