GERE0027-1

microcontrollers Base

Duration :

4h Th, 20h Pr

Number of credits :

Master in environmental bioengineering (120 ECTS)		2
Master in environmental bioengineering (120 ECTS)		2

Lecturer :

Bernard Heinesch

Language(s) of instruction :

French language

Organisation and examination :

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Course contents :

Microprocessor structure : memory, bus, in/out ports.

Microprocessor programming.
Microcontroller programming.

For each item, students will have to solve applications related to the field of climatic and environmental parameter measure and regulation.

Learning outcomes of the course :

On the basis of basic electronic circuits, to describe the internal structure of a microprocessor and to give the elements allowing its programmation and its use in the field of environmental and climatic measure and regulation.
After completing the course the student is expected to be able to:

Use the bus to realize the connection scheme between the microprocessor and the memory inputs/outputs

Distinguish the different memory types

Program a microprocessor in order to realize basic functions by using an assembler langage.

Program a microcontroller in order to realize functions by using a high-level programing langage. Functionalities usualy found in up-to-date commercialised microcontrollers will be used (for example AD conversion, comparators, serial communication, flash memory, timers, watch dog).

This course helps to build the skill : "Conceive technological solutions used to define equipments, systems, infrastructures and services for needs in the field of environment".
