This advanced course focuses on sensor technology and circuit design for embedded systems, providing both theoretical knowledge and practical implementation skills. Students will learn to select, interface, and implement various sensors into microprocessor-based systems. The curriculum covers thermal sensors (thermistors, RTDs, thermocouples), rotary sensors (optical encoders, resolvers), and flow sensors (variable area, differential pressure, vortex, ultrasonic). Students will master amplifier design for sensor signals, understand noise sources in sensor circuits, and learn techniques to reduce noise for improved accuracy. Through hands-on projects using the Cypress PSOC development kit, participants will create complete sensor systems from hardware design to software implementation. The course emphasizes practical skills including schematic development, component selection, signal processing, and C programming for sensor interfaces.

There are 5 modules in this course
This comprehensive course covers sensor technology and circuit design across five modules. It begins with thermal sensors, exploring thermistors, RTDs, and thermocouples - their theory, commercial packaging, and application considerations. The second module introduces students to the Cypress PSOC development environment, teaching hardware interfacing techniques and C programming for temperature measurement systems. The third module focuses on rotary and flow sensors, covering optical encoders, resolvers, and various flow measurement technologies including variable area, differential pressure, vortex, ultrasonic, turbine, thermal mass, and coriolis flow meters. Module four examines amplifier design and noise considerations, addressing issues that affect sensor accuracy and techniques to mitigate them. The final module integrates this knowledge through a practical thermistor lab project. Throughout the course, students develop hands-on skills through projects that reinforce theoretical concepts.
