1. RATIONALE

The microprocessor is challenging and very dynamic field. This course explores architecture of
a microprocessor and its programming in assembly language. The student will be able to apply
logics to various given problems and develop programs using assembly language construct that
would help them to develop real time microprocessor based application programs.
The engineering technologists (i.e. diploma engineering holders) have to develop skills for
system design of Automatic circuit operations in various fields. Microprocessors &
Microcontroller are the sole of all embedded electronic equipment and are used in most of the
areas of electronics. They include product ranges from tiny consumer electronic products to
complex industrial process controllers. A diploma engineer needs to maintain such systems.
Programming practices will further help the students to develop indigenous microprocessor
and microcontroller-based applications. Hence this course is designed to achieve the system
maintenance competency among students.

Under this subjects Architecture and instruction sets of 8 bit processor have been discussed.
Microcontroller (MC) may be called computer on the chip since it has basic features of a
microprocessor with internal ROM, RAM, Parallel and serial ports within a single chip.
Microcontroller is a programmable digital processor with necessary peripherals. Both
microcontrollers and microprocessors are complex sequential digital circuits meant to carry
out job according to the program / instructions. Sometimes analog input/output interface
makes a part of microcontroller circuit of mixed mode (both analog and digital nature).

2. COMPETENCY
The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop different types
of skills so that students are able to acquire following competency:
 Maintain microprocessor-based system.
 Maintain microcontroller-based system/equipment.
