Digital Processing in Mechatronics I

Basic components of digital systems, microcontroller architectures, central processing unit, instruction word, instruction cycles, addressing  modes, decoding logic, peripheral units (memory types, timers and counters, A/D and D/A converters, sensors), assembly language, microcontroller programming, real time data processing, subroutines  and interrupt subroutines, development tools, series and parallel communication interfaces, parallel and series communication protocols, microcontrollers in applications of power electronics, implementation of microcontrollers in power converters, PWM modulators, implementation of microcontrollers in electric motor drive systems (BLDC, PMSM, switched reluctance motors, stepper motors).

Student will get the knowledge about digital  components and systems that are used in the field of power electronics and electrical drives. He will be able to design mechatronic system controls using up to date microcontrollers.
