5. Specific Course Information


a. Course Description

Studies of architecture, operation, programming, and application of microprocessor systems. The topics include microprocessor architecture; assembly language programming; exceptions and interrupts; general-purpose input/output; timer function; memory and address decoding; analog input/output; and serial data communications.


b. Prerequisite by Topic


Students must be familiar with high-level programming language and conventional techniques in designing digital logic circuit using discrete logics. Specifically, they must be familiar with flowcharting, program coding, conversion of numbers among various number systems, logic function minimization, timing analysis, and functions of standard MSI combinational and sequential circuits such as decoder, multiplexer, encoder, comparator, adder, subtractor, flip-flops, shift registers, and counters.
c. Elective Course (EE), Required Course (CompE)
6. Specific Goals for the Course

a. Specific Outcomes of Instructions – After completing this course the students should be able to:

  1. Understand ARM architectures and concepts on on-chip peripherals (including digital and analog I/O, Timer, Input Capture, Output Compare, Serial Communication Interface, Serial Peripheral Interface, and Interrupts).

  2. Write assembly language programs to program the ARM microcontroller.

  3. Use software tools such as the KEIL µVision IDE to edit, assembler, and make ARM-based application programs.

  4. Understand and appreciate the importance of life-long learning due to the existence of a large variety of microcontrollers and their rapid growth in industry.



b. Relationship to Student Outcomes


This supports the achievement of the following student outcomes:

a) An ability to apply knowledge of math, science, and engineering to the analysis of electrical and computer engineering problems.

b) An ability to design and conduct scientific and engineering experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.

c) An ability to design systems which include hardware and/or software components within realistic constraints such as cost, manufacturability, safety and environmental concerns.

i) A recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in life-long learning.

k) An ability to use modern engineering techniques for analysis and design.

m) An ability to analyze and design complex devices and/or systems containing hardware and/or software components.
