This is a project oriented course concerned primarily with designing embedded systems using microcontrollers in integrated development environments (IDE). The topics are divided into the following groups: Microcontroller Architectures focusing on a specific microcontroller (instructions set, and on-chip peripheral devices), Parallel I/O, Interrupts, Serial I/O, and Data Acquisition. Topics included in Parallel I/O are: basic concepts in data transfer, interfacing displays using simple I/O and the scanned technique, interfacing matrix keyboards, data transfer using handshake signals and interrupts. Serial I/O includes basic principles in serial communication protocols and standards. Data Acquisition includes A/D and D/A converters, their applications, and interfacing.
