Course Description

This course deals with advanced concepts in the programming and the interfacing of microprocessors to the outside world as demonstrated by a variety of application examples. It covers the advanced architecture of modern processors and the many I/O peripherals now commonly found on-board the device. Detailed studies of computer I/O and interrupt techniques as applied to analog-to-digital, digital-to-analog, timers, parallel and serial interfaces are included. Laboratory activities provide the student with experience in developing the hardware and software required to incorporate microprocessors into systems that solve real-world interfacing problems.

Course Objectives

On successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• Describe advanced microprocessor architecture and programming,
• Describe the difference between a microprocessor and a microcontroller,
• Design, develop, and validate microprocessor-based system software (assembly),
• Develop and analyze schematics/logic diagrams for microprocessor-based systems,
• Determine and optimize a design for an input/output (I/O) device,
• Explain the operation and application of computer interrupts,
• Design and validate a parallel I/O interface,
• Choose an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on relevant specifications,
• Choose a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) based on relevant specifications,
• Design real-world interfaces incorporating ADCs and DACs
• Describe the operation and application of serial communication interfaces,
• Describe the operation and application of serial peripheral interfaces and devices,
• Describe the operation and application of computer timer devices,
• Design for and interface to I/O devices incorporating ADCs, DACs, timer and serial methods,
• Synthesize and develop microprocessor interfaces for various I/O devices in general,
• Produce written documents and to give oral presentations, and construct circuits, use test equipment and use technical problem solving skills

Course Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course,  students:

1. Know microprocessor types and their hardware details

2. Write a program in Assembly Language to display messages on a terminal with attributes for position, color, etc.

3. Create a service routine that performs a function on the occurrence of an IRQ hardware interrupt and using a counter to control the accurate timing of a stopwatch display.

4. Be able to connect RS-232 and SPI devices to the 8086 processor and writing programs to pass data to and from them.

5. Be able to develop a routine to read an analog input on a port, use a MAC to implement a 2nd order digital filter, and output the resultant analog voltage.

6. Be able to realize interfacing a static RAM memory chip to the 8086 processor at a given address and writing a program to verify operation.

7. Learn interfacing the LCD panel to the 8086 and writing a program to display a message on it or develop software to create message frames to be sent on a network.
