Module overview

This module focuses on how to create real electronic systems. It covers 'building block' circuits using bipolar transistors and looks at the use of op-amps and comparators. It also covers how to deliver timing in circuits. It covers the basic operation of filters and power supplies.

The module also looks at the how computer systems are designed and constructed, focussing on simple processors. It considers how data is processed and manipulated, communication via buses. It also looks at operating systems (including real-time systems), performance and benchmarking. We also look at development toolchains (how to get from C to optimised machine code).
