PART I. COURSE DESCRIPTION

RATIONALE:

The Microprocessors course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of the microprocessor unit (MPU), or as it is also
known, the central processor unit (CPU). This is the decision maker, or brain, of the computer. Like the brain in your body, the MPU
needs support from many peripheral devices to maintain the system. Because of that interrelationship, a course on microprocessors
is not complete without a through discussion of how the MPU interfaces to its support devices and the outside world. To that end,
we will show you how the MPU is structured, how you communicate with the MPU (its language), and how the MPU communicates
with you and the system under its control.

OBJECTIVES:

The microprocessor revolution, which placed a central processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit "chip," has turned
the computer into a handful of chips and has handed these chips over to the electrical engineer—that is, an electrical engineer can
now take a microprocessor and design it into a system whose complexity may vary from the trivial to the sophisticated. How a
microprocessor is transformed into a system capable of performing its intended task will be learned. It concentrates on the interface
between the microprocessor and the other components of a microprocessor system.

OUTCOMES:

When you have completed this course, you will be able to program a representative microprocessor and interface a
representative microprocessor with the "outside world." To describe the internal register structure of the 6800 and 6808
microprocessors. Develop a program flowchart to define a problem and Input and output data through a Peripheral Interface
Adapter. To consider societal impact and implications of technology. A knowledge of area should allow each student to evaluate his
own potential in the field.
