Midterm Exam #2
Date: 14.05.2010, Duration 90 minutes

(50pts) Q1. Write a program (in CCS PIC-C language) that uses timer interrupts and outputs continuously illustrated signal Irom one
oI the digital I/O pin oI PIC16F877A. What is t duration and period T oI the signal that you generate? Assume that the
microcontroller is operated with a 4 MHz crystal (clock oscillator Irequency).

Questions Q.2 through Q.6 are related to the Iollowing CCS PIC-C code and illustration:
Below code mainly displays time in hours:minutes:seconds on a LCD.

(10pts) Q2. In the illustrated circuit, there are certain on purposely leIt missing components and missing connections to PIC16F877A.
On the circuit, indicate all necessary components and their values, and connections to the PIC16F877A so that it will operate
properly.
(10pts) Q3. Add a reset pushbutton (normally open) to the circuit diagram, so that when it is pressed it will reset the PIC16F877A.
(10pts) Q4. Write a Iunction, which accepts three input parameters that can be used to set the clock to a desired time. II necessary,
add source code, so that this Iunction can be called Irom the main Iunction. Indicate using line numbers to where this Iunction should
be inserted.
(10pts) Q5. Write necessary instructions to use Iast I/O on PortB, and set the RB0 pin oI PortB to be used Ior output while all other
pins oI PortB are set Ior input. Indicate using line numbers to where the instructions should be inserted.
(10pts) Q6. Write necessary instructions so that when time is 15:30:00 an LED connected to RB0 pin oI PortB will be turned-ON,
and when time is 15:31:00 the LED will be turned-OFF. Show the LED connection on the circuit diagram. Indicate using line
numbers to where the instructions should be inserted.
