GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Bachelor of Engineering
Subject Code: 3170914
ADVANCED MICROCONTROLLERS
7thSEMESTER
Type of course: Engineering
Prerequisite: Basics of Microprocessors and Microcontrollers
Rationale: Microprocessor and microcontrollers are used to design and develop processor and
computer based automatic smart electronics systems for home and industry application. This
subject is devoted to the study of Advanced Microcontrollers which are used to develop and design
embedded systems having low cost, low energy consumption with limited memory and having real
time response. The students would learn the architecture and programming of ARM Controller in
‘C’ and in Assembly Language. They would also be able to develop simple applications by
interfacing various sensor and actuators with the ARM controller.
