Course detail
Microprocessors
FEKT-KMICAcad. year: 2018/2019
This module provides an introduction to the microcontroller systems. Module introduces students with the fundamental concept of Boolean algebra, creation, description, minimization and implementation of logic functions and sequential systems. Module also introduces students with the most common architectures, instructions sets, memory management and virtualization used in the modern microcontrollers. A demonstration microcontroller HCS12 is used for explanation of its operation, programming model and embedded peripheries, machine code and assembler.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
By the end of the module, the student will be able to:
Perform conversion between different numeral systems, perform operations with the second complement, generate and operate with the real numbers according to standard IEEE754.
Perform logic operations with Boolean expressions. Create, minimize and implement logic functions and logic combination circuits.
Analyse and realise logic sequential systems. Describe and analyse sequential system by a state diagram of the Mealy and Moore type.
Describe basic architectures of computer systems; describe activity of the processor during interrupt, procedure and system call.
Describe basic principles and parameters of memories used in modern microprocessor systems.
