College of Engineering Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Department EECS 145M: Microcomputer Interfacing Laboratory Spring Midterm #1 (Closed book- equation sheet provided- calculators OK) Full credit can only be given if you show your work. Wednesday, February 25, 2009 PROBLEM 1 (3 0 points) Briefly describe all the inputs and outputs of the following circuit components and how their outputs depend on their inputs. 1.1 (6 points) Edge-triggered flip-flop. 1.2 (6 points) Transparent latch

1.3 (6 points) Sample and hold amplifier

1. 4 (6 points) Tri-state buffer 1. 5 (6 points) A/D converter (12 bit)

PROBLEM 3 (50 points) Design an ultrasonic ranging system to be mounted on the front of a vehicle that continuously determines (1) the distance to any obstacle in front of the vehicle and (2) the relative speed between the vehicle and the obstacle. You have the following components:

  • An system that emits a short (1 ms), narrow-beam ultrasonic pulse and detects the reflected echo. The system is triggered by a digital low-to-high edge. It produces a digital output pulse that goes high when the ultrasonic pulse is emitted and goes low when the echo is detected.
  • A computer with display screen, audible warning alarm, digital input/output port, and the ability to read time to the microsecond. 3.1 (10 points) Sketch a diagram of your system, representing each major component as a labeled rectangle.

3 .2 (15 points) List the steps that your computer program must do to (1) trigger the ultrasonic pulses at 5 Hz, (2) determine both distance and velocity, (3) display the numbers on the display screen, and (4) sound the alarm if the current distance and relative speed would result in a collision in one second. 3.3 (5 points) You perform 100 measurements of the echo return time t i with the vehicle stationary and an obstacle at a fixed distance d. Use the random variability of the values of t i in an equation to compute one standard deviation in t i.
