COURSE : E4160 – MICROPROCESSOR & MICROCONTROLLER SYSTEM
LECTURER : PUAN NORZILAH BINTI HUSSIN
THEORY : 4 HOUR / WEEKS
CREDIT HOUR : 3.0
SYNOPSIS : Microprocessor & Microcontroller System exposes the student to the architecture of microprocrssors and microcontrollers, memory as well as computer system interface. This course also emphasizes on instruction set, addressing monde and writing program using assembly language for microprocessors and microcontrollers. Students are also exposed to the use of microcontroller in control system.
