ELET3100 (EL31G) -
Microprocessors II
[ This page was last updated: Jan. 2007 ]
These notes are based mainly on the INTEL 8088/86 family of microprocessors (CPU’s), which were the first generation of INTEL CPU’s that ushered in the large scale use of microcomputers for personal uses. These Lessons are notes and will not necessarily follow the lectures delivered in the classroom. They are to supplement the lectures and provide a basic overview of some topics from the course.
Some details:
Lectures will be held in the SLT on Tuesday’s at 2:00pm and Thursday’s at 9:00am in SLR. Please be on time ! All lectures will be of one-hour duration.
Please obtain a copy of the required text that covers the complete INTEL 80xxx family and the Pentium series.
Two class tests of one-hour each will contribute 20% towards your final mark. These tests will be held on Thursday, 1st of March 2007 (Week 7) and Thursday, 12th April 2007 (Week 12) at 3:00pm, both in ESL (Embedded Systems Lab).
The laboratory section of the course (20%) will require you to work on a project/labs. Please consult me regarding your project/lab assignment.
Labs are from 2:00pm – 6:00pm on Thursday’s in the ESL.
