Microcomputer

Basics in hardware and software of microprocessors; development, function and temporal behaviour of microcomputer components; programming part 1: assembly language, command sequence, addressing, subroutine technology, flags, interrupts (using 80x86 processors), programming part 2: assemblers and C, programmable circuits (parallel and serial ports, timer, interrupt controller,…), practical application examples (modularisation, interface to high-level languages…); debugging in microcomputer hardware and software, microcontroller

Objectives:

The aim is to introduce the students profoundly and practically to hardware and software aspects of microprocessor technology which qualifies them to design and use microcomputer systems autonomously and interdisciplinary. The student gains knowledge about special processors and their specification based on an abstract presentation of the microprocessor technology area. Then, the focus is put on the application of circuits of the system family 80x86 and the use of microcontrollers in industrial practice. The accompanying laboratory provides the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge practically.
