CPE 4202: Embedded Digital Control Systems

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: CPE 3000 and EE 4201
This course introduces the theoretical foundations and practical implementations of digital control systems. Difference equations and the Z-transform, and the time response and frequency response of discrete-time systems, are covered. Modeling of digital control systems and the components that comprise them, including analog-to-digital converters, digital to analog converters, zero-order hold, and computation/time delays are explored. Stability analysis of closed-loop systems, digital controller design based on root-locus and frequency response approaches will be introduced. Hardware applications of the analysis and design principles will be tested on embedded systems.

Notes: This course may be cross-leveled with CPE 6202.
