Course Microprocessor Technology 1

Computers are part of our everyday life - as controller of household appliances or cars, for entertainment, in telecommunication or classically as personal computer (PC). Almost all engineers use computer support for system design. The course Microprocessor Technology explains the basic terms and parts of computers. It enables the students to use computers in a sensible way.

Part 1 of the course microprocessor technology deals with the structure and the working principle of simple processors. The microcontroller family 8051 and the microprocessor 8086 are used as commercial representatives of this class.

The course is held in German language only.
