Module code: ECS502U
Credits: 15
Semester: SEM1
The aim of this module is to examine the structure, applications and programming of microcontroller and similar devices, including practical work on using the devices.
By the end of the module you will be able to understand the architecture of microcontroller and microprocessor devices and understand the timing, memory and data transfer limitations of using these devices. You will also be able to choose the right device for a particular application, understand of the development cycle for the devices and understand interfacing issues for the devices. You will be able to write C code and assembly code for the devices and use a microcontroller in an electronic circuit.
