Course Description:

This course coversarchitecture of 8051 microcontroller, hardware interfacing, and system design

with microcontroller and application of microcontroller. This course also covers the programming

model of 8051 microcontroller and problem solving. The design methodology for software and

hardware applications will be developed, by programming using microcontroller with interfacing

boards available in the lab. The advanced architecture of ARM is dealt in an introductory level.

Prerequisite: EEE112

Course Objectives:

The objectives of this course are to make the students to:

1. Understand the architecture of 8051 microcontroller and ARM processor

2. Develop assembly language program for 8051 and ARM processor

3. Apply the instruction set of 8051 & ARM microcontroller to get optimized programs.4. Design system in block level using microcontroller, memory devices, buses and other
