Course (catalog) description

Microprocessor is a required course for under-graduate students in the ECE program. The purpose of this
course is to teach students the fundamentals of microprocessor and microcontroller systems. The student
will be able to incorporate these concepts into their electronic designs for other courses where control can
be achieved via a microprocessor/controller implementation.

Topics include Semiconductor memory devices and systems, microcomputer architecture,assembly

language programming, I/O programming, I/O interface design, I/O peripheral devices,
datacommunications, and data acquisition systems. Several laboratory exercises will be based on both
microprocessor (Intel 8086), microcontroller (Intel 8051) and ARM (nuvoTon- Nu-LB-LUC140)).

Compulsory/Elective course: Compulsory for ECE students

Credit hours: 3 credits

Computer usage

Students are expected to use the computer to write and assemble assembly language programs and also run
them by downloading them to the target microprocessor. Students will also use a microprocessor software
simulator that runs on the personal computer. Students will also prepare lab reports and conduct out-of-
class assignments using the computer.
