Annotation
Students are acquainted with common computer interfaces and design of peripherals. Selected PC interfaces (USB, PCI, PCI Express, IEEE1394, ExpressCard), metallic and wireless networks (IEEE802.x standards) and industrial interfaces (EIA-485, EIA-232, CAN ) are explained in detail. Project-oriented laboratories are focused on design and implementation of selected communication interface.
