EET 250-Microprocessors and Microcontrollers

4 credit hours – Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly; one term.
Introduces microprocessor and microcontroller-based digital systems. The Intel 8085 microprocessor is used to develop concepts of basic computer architecture including the CPU, buses, memory and input/output. These concepts are then applied to the PIC microcontroller. Microcontrollers are small, single-chip computers often used in appliances and machines. Over five billion PIC devices are currently in use worldwide. Both hardware and software aspects are included so that you can learn how to design, analyze and program these systems to accomplish a specific task. Some previous familiarity with digital concepts would be helpful but not necessary. Lab fee $50.

Prerequisite(s): EET 130 or permission of department chair.
