Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
To fully appreciate the course you should have previous knowledge in all of simpler measurements with an oscilloscope, basic electrical circuit theory and any high level language.Intended learning outcomes
The course gives a basic introduction to how simple processors work and are programmed. After the course you should be able to:
- (i) Program a processor at the lowest level.
- (ii) Using different addressing modes and interrupt handling.
- (iii) Perform calculations using binary arithmetic.
- (iv) Understand how a simple computer system is built.
- (v) Describe the processor's unifying role of place in a computer system.
- (vi) Troubleshoot software and hardware.
- (vii) Read and understand data sheets format and information.
- (viii) Using the processor's input and output devices.
- (ix) Contribute to the discussion and results in a labgroup.
(Numerals above refer to the corresponding comment field in the IUAE matrix.)
Course content
Binary arithmetic:
Number representations, fix- and floating point. Arithemetic-logical functions, additionm subtraction, multiplication, shifts.
Computer architecture:
Internal dataflow in a simple computer model. Instructions, instruction formats, addressing modes, input and output, exceptions.
Input- and output peripherals.
A/D- and D/A-conversions.
Mikrocontroller:
Purpose and features. Built-in peripherals, timers, clocking alternatives, blackout och brownout.
Teaching and working methods
The course consists of lectures, lessons and laboratory exercises. During the course there is a revision of tecnical reports together with examiners of the course Switching Theory and Logical Design.
Examination
| UPG1 | Laboratory work | 4 credits | U, G |
The laboratory exercises test the student's ability to write and verify assembler programs. Furthermore the ability to perform input-output, interrupt handling as well D/A- and A/D-conversion is tested. All laboratory exercises must be fulfilled to pass the lab assignment examination.
Grades are given as ’Fail’ or ’Pass’.
Grades are given as ’Fail’ or ’Pass’.
