Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
Understanding the structure and internal behavior of microprocessors. Develop a critical analysis of computer systems and identification of constraints, performance and interactions between their different components. Having a technological balance to globally develop a computer system facing a given application. Being able to optimize their use while applying the techniques presented. Master development tools and programming languages. Implementation of microprocessor-based solutions by selecting components, tools and peripherals targeting an specific application. At the end of this course, the student will have a thorough understanding of a processor, from the architectural and behavioral points of view, the architectural alternatives and main internal hardware components, the impact of the instruction set and addressing modes the performance of a computer, I/O and peripherals.
Content of UE
The study of the internal organization of computers: their internal structure, interactions between its various constituting components, the understanding of different microprocessor architectures, the implications of programming and interaction mechanisms. The practical work will make extensive use of programming techniques, interrupt mechanisms, and interaction with peripheral devices.
Prior Experience
Functional electronics, computer science and programming, Computer Logic.
Type of Assessment for UE in Q2
Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q2 UE assessment
NG: "Global Note": only the UE note is sent to the SdE by the UE holder; the UE holder calculates the overall score based on the different AA evaluations. The UE score will be determined as follows:
I-MRDV-045 Project of Digital Control (50%): The assessment is based on student's participation (assessed from criteria based grids) during the workshops and the report. The latter must provide the technical details of the facility (mechanical system, sensors, actuators, wiring,...) the setup of the controller and the structure of the microcontroller program.
Microprocessor-based Systems (15831) I-SEMI-045 (50%): Total 1st session (2nd quadrimester - January): 100%. The AA assessment includes: Practical lab work, 15% of the AA; Out-of-session laboratory practice evaluation, 40% of AA grade; Theory exam, 45% of the AA;
