About the course
This course introduces microprocessors, an instruction set of microprocessors, assembly language programming, and machine language concepts. Internal communication structure, memory interface components, Input-Output processors, Direct Memory Access technique are discussed. The role of interrupts and interrupt handling techniques are also introduced. The students are given training in developing assembly language programs for simple problems during the theoretical and practical sessions.,
