COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course provides students an opportunity to study the internal architecture of microprocessor and to
learn how to exploit their power by interfacing and programming them to solve real world problems. The
key objectives of the course include the introduction to the fundamentals of microprocessor-based
systems, provide an opportunity to learn hardware and software design concepts and translate them to
solutions to practical problems.
Pre-Requisite(s):

DLD (Digital Logic Design), any high level language (C++)

TEXT AND MATERIALS:

1. THE 8088 AND 8086 MICROPROCESSORS by Walter A. Triebel Avtar Singh

References Material:
1. The INTEL Microprocessors by Barry B Brey
2. Microprocessors and Interfacing by D.V. Hall

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Students are expected achieve the following PLOs’ in this course

PLO-2: Problem Analysis: An ability to identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze embedded system and its
attributes used to differentiate among different processor architectures

PLO-3: Design and Development: An ability to design solutions for different Memory and input/output interfaces of
8088/8086 Microprocessors and develop embedded system programs by using Assembly language programming for
different Embedded system Designs

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. Apply knowledge to differentiate the different Memory and input/output interfaces of 8088/8086
Microprocessors.
 2. Evaluate system programs using Assembly language programming
3. Design different embedded system software models for practical applications.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This basic course develops the knowledge of an embedded

system and the fundamentals of processor architectures in general, and for Electrical Engineering
in particular. The course is designed to provide knowledge and skills in programming 8086/8088
microprocessor using the assembly language to enable participants to observe the unique ability
of the microprocessor.
