Here is an English version of the “Microcomputer and Interface Technology” course outline, likely based on the syllabus by Professor Yang Quansheng (note: actual content may vary depending on the institution’s curriculum):

Microcomputer and Interface Technology

Instructor: Yang Quansheng
Target Majors: Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Automation, etc.

1. Course Objectives

  1. Master the basic architecture and working principles of microcomputer systems.
  2. Understand interface technologies between the CPU and peripheral devices, as well as data transfer methods.
  3. Apply common interface chips (e.g., 8255, 8253, 8251) in hardware design.
  4. Develop assembly language programming skills and interface debugging techniques.

2. Course Content

  2. Modern Interface Technologies
    • USB, SPI, I²C brief introduction

3. Labs and Practical Sessions

  1. Basic Labs
    • Assembly programming (e.g., keyboard input/display output)
    • 8255A-controlled LED/keyboard experiments
  2. Comprehensive Labs
    • Interrupt-based traffic light control system
    • Serial communication (data transmission/reception)

4. Assessment

  1. Theory Exam (60%): Closed-book, covering interface principles and design analysis.
  2. Lab Evaluation (30%): Hands-on experiments and reports.
  3. Participation (10%): Assignments and class engagement.

5. Reference Materials

  1. Primary Textbook:
    Microcomputer Principles and Interface Technology (Yang Quansheng, if applicable)
  2. Supplementary Texts:
    • Microcomputer Principles and Interfaces (Zhou Heqin, Feng Huanqing)
