Embedded C and 8-bit Microcontrollers
ABSTRACT
This module is framed to set the required background in ‘C’ Language for the rest of the
modules on embedded software. It aims at familiarizing the students in programming in
‘C’. This module covers the advanced topics in ‘C’ such as Memory management,
Pointers, Data structures which are of high relevance in embedded software are
considered in depth. This module makes use of KEIL C Compiler along with 8051
microcontrollers.
This module also covers the architecture of the popular 8-bit Microcontrollers such as
8051, and PIC for lower end applications. Microcontrollers with built-in peripheral
functions (such as PWMs for Motor Control or UPS, interface for Quadrature Encoders,
Frequency measurement, Serial ports, 10-bit 8-channel ADCs, Digital I/Os, EPROM,
RAM etc.), and lower power consumption are very popular and have drastically altered
the economics of Digital System Design. The low cost, small size and programmability
make them suitable for an enormous number of applications in products and systems like
fuzzy logic controllers, industrial automation, home appliances etc. 8-bit and 16-bit
Microcontrollers are widely used in industrial applications.
This module covers hardware and software design aspects in detail. The embedded
system design aspects using 8-bit Microcontrollers are also covered in detail.
