Learning Outcomes

This course provide students with professional knolwedge in micro-controllers. After the completion of the course, the student will be able to: (a) Write C programs for advanced microcontrollers. Use all microcontrollers' subsystems such as timers, I/O ports, Interrupts, A/D and D/A converters and more. Design a microcontroller based system.
The course also explain the Analog/Digital interfaces and describes the specifications of different logic families such as TTL and CMOS and how analog sensors and actuators can interface with microprocessor/microcontroller. The course will also teach the students the techniques to measure digital signals and how information can be stored and moved about in groups of bits. Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog conversions are demonstrated.
