Learning and teaching strategies : Lecture, Question and Answer, Problem Solving, Other: This course must be taken together with ELE338 MICROPROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE and PROGRAMMING LABORAT
Course objective : In this course it is aimed to teach the general principles of microprocessor architecture by first exposing the students starting with the historical perspective. Then the microprocessor architecture is explained in general terms and associated with this the data path are explained. Furthermore the integration of microprocessor to the memory is detailed. The I/O unit interfacing is also explained. Different addressing modes are explained as well. In this course the student will be able to also learn to connect several external devices such as A/D and D/A converters, interrupt units, counters and other programmable devices.İt is aimed to develop knowledge about the microprocessor and architecture without the need to memorize any concepts and teach them to benefit from this knowledge in the environment where they can use it in a productive way.
Learning outcomes : A student who completes the course successfully learns assembly and high level microprocessor programming solves problems they encounter in hardware and software making use of microprocessors. be exposed to the tools that they may need after their education.
Course content : Microprocessors and Microcomputers introduction Processor architectures Memory interfacing I/O (Input and Output) connection Memory mapped I/O and periperhal mapped I/O Compiler and language structure Instruction Set, Instruction set structure, classification and use. Programming using different commands Stack and subroutines Arithmetics and multiprecision arithmetics Interrupts and its usage Data converter interfacing Serial I/O and data communication Keypad interfacing Programmable device interfacing Programmable interval timer and counter Programmable Interrupt controllers Direct memory map device interfacing
