Syllabus

• Microprocessor organisation: The internal set-up of a standard 16-bit microprocessor such as the 8086.  The need of special registers.
• CPU cycles: Clock, machine and instruction cycles.
• Microprocessor Input/Output: External bus structures.  Control Signals for sequenced input/output.
• Microprocessor Assembly Language:  The assembly language of the 8086.  The use of assembler and debugging tools.  Design and implementation of assembly language programs.
• Types of interrupts and their use in sequencing events.
• The connection of a microprocessor such as the 8086 to special peripheral chips including a parallel peripheral interface, a serial peripheral interface, a priority interrupt controller, and interval counter and timer, a DMA IC.
• Programming of the peripheral chips
• Relation of a microprossor system to a PC.
