Course Objectives The objective of this course is to introduce basic microcontroller architecture and operations, to teach how to program a microcontroller using both assembly language and C to implement a given design.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Demonstrate the transfer of information, from register to register to memory for each instruction
  • Describe the basis for interaction between the microcontroller and external hardware
  • Explain the operation of microcontroller hardware, and be able to write programs using timers and counters.
  • Define the operations performed by each assembly language instruction
  • Define the operations performed by each C-language instruction for the microcontroller. Interpret and design C programs
  • Develop mixed C/assembly language software
  • Explain what occurs within the microcontroller on an interrupt and develop programs using interrupts
Course Content Introduction to microcontrollers, instruction set, serial port operation, interrupt operation, assembly language programming, program structure and design, tools and techniques for program development, design and interface examples in assembly, design and interface examples.
