Microcontrollers have become prevalent in a number of applications such as instrumentation, industrial
electronics, automotive electronics, robotics, etc. Advances in VLSI technology permit the integration of not
only the processor but also the analog electronics, memory and peripherals necessary for system
implementation; this allows low-cost system implementation. Some microcontrollers used in industrial
electronics also provide some digital signal processing capability to further reduce the system cost.
Power dissipation is often a consideration in many systems and modern microcontrollers address it through the
support of several low-power modes of operation. The aim of the course is to introduce advanced
