Supervisor:

Department of Microelectronics

Synopsis:

The goal of this course is to make students acquainted with recent interesting applications, smart sensors circuits and peripherals handled by microcontrollers. In a lab students will program their own applications and measure actual properties. Because of usage of a programming language C and preprogrammed libraries it will be possible to focus on the practical part of the realization.
