    Professor: Kevin Cardamore

    Course Description: This course is an introductory course in Microcontroller architecture


    and microprocessor-based systems. A study is made of the Atmel AVR Microcontroller and
    supporting hardware necessary to implement a functional microcomputer system. To assist in the
    learning process, the course will cover Embedded C language programming using the Atmel
    AVR MCU instruction set as well as the application software development tools such as
    CodeVisionAVR C Compiler and IDE. Laboratories will be conducted on the Windows PC
    equipped CodeVisionAVR C Compiler and IDE.

    Statement of Competence:
    To program a microprocessor/Microcontroller-based system.

    Elements of Competence: Specific Criteria of Performance:


    A. To characterize a microcomputer. Identify the elements and functions, which
    characterize a digital system.
    Explain the internal workings of a
    microcomputer.
    B. To characterize a microprocessor. Identify the elements and functional
    characteristics of microprocessors and
    controllers.
    Characterize microprocessors available.
    Explain the functions of busses, memories, and
    I/O.
    C. To program a microprocessor using Modify an existing program.
    Embedded C language. Debug an embedded C language program.
    Program a microprocessor for a certain
    application.

    At the conclusion of this course, the student will be able to:

    • Familiarize oneself with the microprocessor or microcontroller aspects at both, the


    theoretical as well as the implementation level by applying the elements of competences.

    Methodology

    Starting from directions.
    Using debugging tools
    The course will cover Embedded C language programming using the AVR MCU instruction set
    as well as the application software development tools such as the CodeVisionAVR C compiler
    and IDE which will be conducted on the IBM PC compatible computers.

    Attendance

    Regular attendance in course activities is essential for active participation in student learning.
    Students have an obligation to attend course activities and to arrive on time. Students who miss
    classes on a regular basis are not considered to be participating actively and thus decrease the
    possibility of academic success.

    Professor Availability

    The professor’s teaching schedule will be posted outside Rm. 209C. When a student requires
    additional assistance, the student should approach the professor informally at the end of a class or
    during a lab that the professor is attending, or between these scheduled times in his office or in
    the electronics classroom area. If more time is required for assistance, a time and place to meet
    will be arranged for the student.

    Evaluation

    Academic Integrity: In accordance with Heritage College’s Policy #33, Article 3, “Heritage
    College believes that the academic value of the diplomas and attestations it grants rests upon the
    honesty of the learning relationship that exists between students and teachers. An act of academic
    dishonesty (such as cheating, plagiarism, or the fabrication of records) undermining the integrity
    of this relationship shall be considered a grievous offence.” (please refer to articles 3.1 and 3.2 for
    offences and sanctions)
