| 10. | Course Goals (acquired competencies):
This module presents the architecture of the popular 8-bit Microcontrollers for lower end applications. The hardware and software design aspects are covered in detail. The embedded system design aspects using 8-bit Microcontrollers are also covered in detail. After successful completion of the module students should be able to: understand the architecture of the various types of 8-bit microcontrollers, understand the assembly language programming of microcontrollers, understand the ‘c’ language programming of microcontrollers, understand the hardware interfacing of the peripherals of the microcontrollers, select a proper microcontroller for a particular application, design embedded systems using 8-bit microcontrollers, design, program and evaluate embedded systems from software specification to hardware implementation. |
