GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
MICROPROCESSOR AND MICROCONTROLLER INTERFACING
SUBJECT CODE: 2150907
B.E. 5thSEMESTER
Type of course: Engineering
Prerequisite: Analog and Digital Electronics
Rationale: This subject focuses on the study of microprocessor and microcontroller along with the basics of
Digital Circuits. It also briefs the students about interfacing of memory and I/O devices like A to D
converter, D to A converter LED, LCD etc. The students learn the Programming language (Both assembly
and Embedded C) used for microcontrollers. They learn the basics of Microprocessor and design of
Microcontroller based systems. They will be able to use the same in electrical engineering related fields
like Power system protection, instrumentation, power electronics, Electrical Drives and control of Electrical
Equipments.
