About the Program
The objective of this PG Diploma course is to provide the candidates the Detail knowledge and skills in Embedded System Design Engineering discipline to facilitate faster learning curves while on the job.
This course on Embedded systems will first the students to the fundamental requirements of embedded systems and the interaction between hardware and software in such systems. Next, the course will discuss some basic steps of hardware design, introduce the students to various microcontrollers. Next, the students will be exposed to the very important issue of designing for less power consumption and introduce them to the techniques that are adapted to this end. Since many of the embedded systems will have real-time constraints, basic issues of real-time operating systems will be discussed. This will be followed by formal specification models and languages, mapping the specification to hardware and software components along with decisions on design tradeoffs and hardware-software partitioning. The course will end with a brief overview of design verification methods that are adapted for embedded system design.
