This course takes a close look into the architecture, programming and interfacing of micro-controllers. The Atmel AVR Family (http://www.atmel.com/ )is used as a reference. It discusses how to program in both Assembly and ANSI ‘C’ language and provides good expose of interfacing the micro-controller complete with a diverse set of examples. ARM microcontrollers are also introduced. The student will be equipped with skills and knowledge to design and develop micro-controller based electronic products.
