Course Objective

The objectives of this course are to acquire an ability to identify the required hardware elements of a microcomputer system design for a specific application, an ability to built a
microcomputer architecture with known elements, an ability to design, write and debug a program in Assembly Language for a specific task, to recognize the role and importance of microcomputer systems in industry, an ability to design electrical circuitry in order to interface memory and I/O devices, an ability to interface peripheral devices to a microprocessor system, an ability to integrate a microprocessor-based system with electric circuits to complete a control system, an ability to write and debug a control software for a microprocessor-based control system.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To learn basic microcomputer architecture and how to design memory arrays
2   To Interface memory devices and simple I/O devices (latch and buffer) to microprocessor

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

Students will be given homeworks to acquire learning outcomes and improve their design abilities. Homeworks prepared by students will be graded. In lab hours, experiments are conducted to improve the abilities of programming (in Assembly language), debugging and using Parallel IO and Counter/Timer devices. Lab reports prepared by students will be graded.

Assessment Criteria

Learning outcomes are evaluated by homeworks, laboratory applications and reports, and exam questions.
