Course Handout
L: 4 T: 0 P: 2

Course Code : EL3001

Title of the course : Microprocessors

1. Scope and Objective of the Course:

Microprocessors came into existence in 1970’s and brought revolutionary change in

the field of computers and electronic industry.The development of microprocessors
revolutionized every major area of science and technology and it plays an important
role in the industrial society to increase the factor of productivity. The objective of
teaching this course is to train the students with all aspects of hardware, peripheral
interfaces and programming concept to develop low cost software based
applications. In this course students can learn 8086 microprocessor architecture, and
developing the programs to perform arithmetic and logical operations using
assembly language. And they learn how to interface Peripheral devices with the
microprocessor.

4. Expected outcome of the Course:

The specific course outcomes supporting the program outcomes are:

OUTCOME 1:
a) Students should be able to solve basic binary math operations using the
microprocessor.
b) Students should be able to demonstrate programming proficiency using the
various addressing modes and data transfer instructions of the target
microprocessor.
c) Students should be able to program using the capabilities of the stack, the
program counter, and the status register and show how these are used to
execute a machine code program.
OUTCOME 2:
a) Students should be able to apply knowledge of the microprocessor’s internal
registers and operations by use of a PC based microprocessor simulator.

b) Students should be able to write assemble assembly language programs and

run their program on the trainingboards in labs.
