Abstract

The main aim of this course is to understand and master theoretical knowledge and practical virtuosity necessary for description and for application of the microcontroller and microcomputer.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, students will be able to:
design single-chip microcomputer applications;
to work with the C language in a single-chip microcomputer environment;
program single-chip microcomputer applications;
to work with peripherals of microcomputers (PWM, timer, ADC...);
to work with fundamental communication protocols (UART, I2C, SPI).

Key topics

Programming on the microcontrollers and bit operations.
Fundamentals of electronics used in embedded systems.
Basic digital input output (GPIO, LED, button, switches, ...).
Introduction to interrupt handling and software timers.
Generating and reading digital signals (PWM, input capture, counters...).
Generating and reading analog signals (ADC, DAC).
Introduction to communication protocols and buses (UART, I2C, SPI).

Approaches, practices, and methods used in teaching

Seminars consisting of lectures and practical tasks, and individual homework.

Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements

Homework: Students must achieve at least 9 out of 11 points.
Points over the threshold will be added to the final score.

The exam consists of 2 parts:
1) Practical (60 pts): Implementation assignment of homework-level difficulty, open-book, no LLMs. Duration: 120 minutes. Graded pass/fail.
2) Theoretical (40 pts): Four open questions based on seminar and study materials, closed-book. Duration: 60 minutes.

A student can redo only the failed part of the exam.

Colloquium: Only the practical part of the exam - pass/fail.

Grading Scale:
A: 100–90
B: 89–80
C: 79–70
D: 69–60
E: 59–50
F: <50
