Description
- Understand user programmable microcontrollers
- Choose a microcontroller project
- Ideal for managers

A microcontroller is a programmable, single-chip integrated circuit containing a CPU, RAM, EPROM,
EEPROM, timers, A to D converters, I/O ports, serial communication circuits and interrupt facilities.
One microcontroller can replace entire circuit boards of conventional digital circuitry.

Course Contents and Time Table
On completion of the course you will understand the basics of microcontroller based systems.
You will be able ot assess the viability of proposed projects and determine whether a microcontroller
is the preferred option. This is a flexible and interactive course. It combines lectures and demonstrations.

Course contents:
Introduction:
- Understanding the microcontroller basic structure and organisation.
Key features of working with Microcontrollers
- Design strategy.
- Features and issues.
Choosing a microcontroller project
- Assessing the suitability of microcontroller based implementations.
Software Engineering:
- Issues involved in programming in assembler or a high level language.
Choosing the right technology:
- Technology choice issue
Development strategy:
- Strategies and options.
Choosing Vendors and Design Subcontractors:
- Issues involved.
Business Aspects:
- Implicaitons and issues.

Audience
The course is ideal for engineers/managers wishing to incorporate new technology
into their product range. The course is introductory and requires no previous knowledge
of microcontrollers. Note, that the one day course "In-Circuit Emulation Systems", is a matching
course which is held on the following day.

Lecturers
Mr. Harold Convey, Btech, MIEE, CEng, Principal Lecturer Bolton Institute.
