Architecture, Addressing Types and Instruction Sets of Micro

This course provides a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles and practical aspects of Microprocessors and Microcontrollers. It explores how embedded systems are structured and how they execute instructions at various levels of abstraction—from digital logic up to the instruction set architecture. The course focuses on the design and functionality of the hardware components that form the basis of modern microprocessors and microcontrollers computing systems.

Topics include number systems, Evolution, Pin diagram and Pin details, Registers and Flags, Register Organization, 16 bit Architecture, 16 bit Register Organization, Memory Segmentation, Stacks and Subroutines, Physical memory organization, Addressing Modes, Pin Details and Interrupts of microprocessors. Programs also taught.

The Architecture, Pin diagram and Pin details, Memory Organization, Addressing Modes, Instruction Sets, Arithmetic Instructions, Logical Instructions, Conditional Control Transfer Instructions, Unconditional Brach Instructions, Delay generation, Questions with Answers, Programs, Addressing Examples and Instruction sets with examples in microcontrollers are taught.

The students will be able to do programs and design the projects for real time applications. The knowledge can be applied further in the study of embedded systems, internet of things, ARM processors and other digital design systems.

Students will also study how these architectural decisions, how to manage the speed mismatches and the interaction between hardware and software.
