Microprocessor Based Design (Elective I) – BSc CSIT Syllabus & Notes

Course Description:

This course covers range of issues to be considered in designing a microprocessor-based system. First, the criteria for selecting a microprocessor/microcontroller are discussed, and second, the hardware and software aspects of designing systems are focused.

Course Objectives:

The course objective is to demonstrate the concept of microprocessor and to be able to design a microprocessor based system to get desired results. It also emphasizes on hardware interfacing of 8051 to develop solutions of real world problems.
