COURSE : DEC3043 MICROPROCESSOR FUNDAMENTAL
CREDIT(S) : 3
PREREQUISITE(S) : DEE2034 DIGITAL ELECTRONICS
SYNOPSIS
MICROPROCESSOR FUNDAMENTAL covers the basic concepts and application of
microprocessor-based systems. Students will learn the fundamental concepts and
techniques for designing and programming microprocessor-based systems.
Microprocessor architecture, assembly language and fundamentals of interfacing will
be discussed during the course of study. This course also provides the skills to design
memory systems using address decoder.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO)
Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:
1. apply the concept of a 68000/8086 microprocessor, the organization of the
internal register, the memory and the input/output interfacing to
microprocessor-based system. (C3, PLO1)
2. design the address decoder to facilitate memory expansion for 68000/8086
microprocessor based system and design a simple project using an interface
circuit with input/output (I/O) devices. ( C5, PLO 4)
3. construct assembly language programmes to interface a microprocessorbased
system to external peripherals using PPI 8255/PIA 6821 chip. (P4, PLO5)
4. demonstrate the ability to work in team to complete assigned tasks during
practical work sessions. (A3, PLO11)
