Course Objectives The purpose of this course is to teach the students, the basic architectural features and operational principles of 8 bit and 32 bit microcontrollers and the design of microcontroller based electronic and control systems using circuit simulators which are used in commercial and scientific design processes. Projects will be assigned to the students and the experiments to design and implement electronic and control circuits such as traffic light control, voltage regulator, step motor control and owen temperature control which are generally used in industrial applications will be covered.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Describe basic architectural features and operational principles of a 8 and 16-bit microcontrollers,
  • Design I/O ports, timers, counters, PWM generators, interrupts, special function registers,
  • Set up serial and I2C communication between other microcontrollers and the host computer,
  • Apply analog-to-digital convertors,
  • Design microcontrollers using C programming language,
  • Set up communication between a microcontroller and other industrial devices,
  • Simulate microcontroller based electronic circuits using a circuit simulator,
  • Sketch microcontroller based control circuit projects.
