Course Description

Short Course | 18 Hours | 1.8 CEUs 

Embedded System

Our Embedded System Hardware Architecture Essentials course introduces students to the key concepts of embedded systems hardware design. This instructor-led course provides an inside look at common embedded systems and the functional blocks within those systems, with an emphasis on hardware components, interfaces, and important design considerations.

Students gain an understanding of embedded systems design approaches, hardware architecture, memory subsystems, microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSP), inter-IC communications, and system-level buses. The course also explores how these hardware components interact and how design choices can impact overall system performance.

 

  • Functional blocks and tear-down analysis
  • Hardware design considerations
  • Design methodology (ASIC, FPGA, COTS)
  • Memory subsystem and hierarchy, including:
    • SRAM
    • PSRAM
    • DRAM
    • Non-volatile memories
  • Microprocessors and microcontrollers
  • Inter-IC communications overview, including:
    • SPI
    • I2C
    • Parallel Bus
  • Backplanes

After completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Describe how microprocessors, memory subsystems, and other hardware components interact.
  • Discuss key concepts in hardware design.
  • Identify bottlenecks in hardware selection to make more effective design decisions.
  • There are no prerequisites for this course.
