Course Description This course is an introduction to basic principles of microprocessor and microcontroller architectures and assembly language instructions. The course is divided into two major parts: Part 1- microprocessors and Part 2 - microcontrollers. In Part 1, the content is divided into three sections: microprocessor architecture, mnemonics and interfacing memory and I/Os. The content is designed around the 8085 microprocessor, its mnemonics, and assembly language programming. Topics included are: overview of computers and microcomputers, 8085 microprocessor architecture, bus architecture, memory (R/W Memory, ROM, and EPROM), memory maps, I/Os, interfacing devices and introduction to the 8085 instruction set and assembly language programming. The third section, interfacing memory and I/Os, introduces designing of memory maps and various I/O techniques such as parallel I/O, serial I/O, and interrupts. Part 2 focuses on microcontrollers. The content is designed around the 8051 microcontroller. The 8051 mnemonics are introduced, but programs are written in C language under IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Applications of various internal peripherals such as timers and serial I/Os are illustrated, Learning Objectives 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. 7. 8. Explain the architecture and the bus concepts of a microprocessor and a microcontroller. Explain the timings and bus contents in execution of an instruction. Recognize memory maps by decoding the address bus. Interface a memory chip for a given address range and an I/O port for a given address. Explain processes of data transfer between a microprocessor and peripherals. Interpret the mnemonics of an instruction set and explain the timings in execution of instructions. Write programs in assembly and C languages to perform simple tasks, such as data transfer, arithmetic, logic, and I/O operations in the modular format using subroutines and functions. Explain the interrupt process and illustrate its applications. Illustrate applications of various peripherals such as timers and serial I/O modules.
