Microprocessor Systems
COURSE OVERVIEW:
This course introduces the student to the hardware components and theory of operation for microprocessor systems.
PREREQUISITES:
Digital Electronics or equivalent skills.
COURSE LENGTH:
This course contains 18 lessons, 12 drills, and 9 Assembler miniunits.
UNIT-BY-UNIT TOPICAL OUTLINE:
Unit 1 - Signed binary numbers, two's complement notation, two's complement subtraction, hexadecimal notation
Unit 2 - Shift registers: SISO, SIPO, PISO, PIPO
Unit 3 - Nonvolatile memory, ROM's, address decoding, one-dimensional addressing, two-dimensional addressing, PROM's, EPROM's, EEPROM's
Unit 4 - Volatile memory, static RAM, dynamic RAM, memory timing diagrams, CCD RAM's
Unit 5 - Microprocessor elements: the ALU, the accumulator, the program counter, the register array; buses
Unit 6 - The instruction decoder, the controller/synchronizer, the status (condition code) register, the bus structure
Unit 7 - Internal and external buses, printed circuit boards, bus architectures
Unit 8 - Microprocessor operation, fetch, decode, execute, instruction cycle timing
Unit 9 - The status (condition code) register: carry, overflow, sign, zero, half carry
Unit 10 - Algorithms, flowcharts, machine code, assembly language, the addition algorithm
Unit 11 - Addressing: inherent (implied), immediate, direct, extended
Unit 12 - Subroutines, stack operations
Unit 13 - Interrupts, interrupt priority, the DMA interrupt, vectored interrupts
Unit 14 - Mass storage devices
Unit 15 - Communications: ASCII code, synchronous transmission, asynchronous transmission, transmission rates, modems, the handshake, full and half duplex, RS 232, current loop, parity
Unit 16 - 8080/8085 microprocessors: registers, timing and control, interrupts
Unit 17 - 8086/8088 microprocessors: memory segmentation, addressing
Unit 18 - The 6800 microprocessor: registers, timing and control, interrupts
NOTES:
The computerized drill units give you virtually unlimited practice on the effects of executing basic assembler instructions on the microprocessor registers and memory.
