The Exam Consists of 60 Questions in 12 Pages. 2 / 12

Q14—Q24: The figure to the right shows the

connection between a water tank and its level
Controller. The controller has two inputs: Upper-Level
Sensor (U) and Lower-Level Sensor (L), which sense
the level of the water inside the tank. Both sensors are
connected through signal conditioning circuits to
output logic high/low voltage levels. Controller output
(P) is used to control a water pump. ON (Green) and
ALARM (Red) LED indicators are used to show the
state of the pump. The controller runs PROG1 (on the
next page) on a TM4C microcontroller. The pump
should be turned on (by applying a logic high on signal
P), if the water level in the tank is below the low level until reaching the upper level, then it is turned off until
the water level drops again below the lower level. If it happens that the pump is on for a specific time duration
without having the water reaching the upper level, the pump is turned off and the ALARM LED is switched
on for a specific duration. Then, the pump is switched on again (with ALARM LED off), continuing as normal.

A) 0x01 B) 0x04 C) 0x06 D) 0x08

A) !current_L && !old_L B) !current_L && old_L C) current_L && !old_L D) current_L && old_L
18. In PROG1, line 8, condition C2 (used to switch pump states from PUMP_ON to PUMP_OFF) should be

19. In PROG1, line 9, condition C3 (used to switch pump states from PUMP_ON to PUMP_ALARM) should be
A) !current_L && on_state_counter>COUNTER_TH) B) !current_U && on_state_counter>COUNTER_TH)
C) current_L && on_state_counter<COUNTER_TH) D) current_U && on_state_counter<COUNTER_TH)
20. In PROG1, line 13, condition C4 (used to switch pump states from PUMP_ALARM to PUMP_ON) should be
A) current_U==1 B) old_U==0 C) on_state_counter<COUNTER_TH D) on_state_counter>COUNTER_TH
21. In PROG1, line 6, V1, V2, V3 (used to set pins values) should be

33. In PROG3, line 10, equation <E1> (used to convert an angle to input pulse duration in ms) should be
A) 1-angle*(1.0/180) B) 1+angle*(2.0/360) C) 1+angle*(1/180) D) 1+angle*(2.0/180)
34. In PROG3, if the input pulse duration is 1.75 ms, the angle the motor will rotate to will be
A) -135o B) -67.5o C) 67.5o D) 135o
35. In PROG3, block lines 2 and lines 9 and 12, datatype <T1> should best be set to
A) int B) unsigned int C) long D) float
36. In PROG3, if the controller uses a 16-MHz clock, function delay_ms(1.0) is called to insert a 1-ms delay,
and a single loop iteration at line 15 takes 5 cycles, integer value <S1> in line 14 should be
A) 80 B) 800 C) 1600 D) 3200
37. In PROG3, assume that <S1> is set as in the previous question and that the loop at line 15 is changed so
that a single iteration takes 6 cycles instead of 5. If function delay_ms(1.5) is called to produce a 1.5-ms
pulse to have the motor rotate 90o, the actual angle the motor will rotate to will be
A) 36o B) 91o C) 95o D) 144o
38. In PROG3, the correct order for lines 3—7 should be
A) 6-7-3-5-4 B) 6-7-4-5-3 C) 7-6-4-5-3 D) 6-5-4-7-3
Q39—Q44: Four TM4C microcontrollers are
connected in a ring using UART, as shown in the figure
to the right. The transmitter line of one
microcontroller is connected to the receiver line of its
neighbor to form a ring. Each microcontroller defines
a unique address for itself using two dip switches
connected to PF0 (least bit) and PF4. Exchanged
messages consist of 3 characters; first character
defines the sender address; second one defines the
receiver address; and the third defines the receiver
LED state to set to. As an example, if microcontroller
0 wants to switch on the LED on microcontroller 2,
the message will be “021” and to switch it off, the
message should be “020”. When receiving a message, a microcontroller checks the second character, if it
matches its address, then the microcontroller should apply the received setting to its LED; otherwise, the
microcontroller forwards the message to its neighbor. If a message comes back to its sender that means that
the receiver address does not match any microcontroller on the ring and that message should be dropped.
PROG4 (on the next page) is running on each microcontroller. In PROG4, each microcontroller tries to switch
its LED ON through the ring connection. Some statements in PROG4 are not in the right order.
39. In PROG4, line 2, expression <E1> (used to get the microcontroller own address should be
A) A0+A1 B) A0*2+A1 C) A0*2+A1*4 D) A0+A1*2
40. In PROG4, lines 3 and 6, <X> should be
A) 0 B) '0' C) 1 D) '1'
41. In PROG4, line 5, assuming that <X> is set as in the previous question, condition <C1> should be
A) RecAdd==myAdd+<X> B) RecAdd!=myAdd+<X> C) TranAdd==myAdd+<X> D) TranAdd!=myAdd+<X>
42. In PROG4, line 8, assuming that <X> is set as in the previous question, condition <C2> should be
A) RecAdd==myAdd+<X> B) RecAdd!=myAdd+<X> C) TranAdd==myAdd+<X> D) TranAdd!=myAdd+<X>
