2) MCU:
Example Microcontroller System

CISC
Complex Instruction Set Computer
 “High level" Instruction Set
 Executes several “low level operations”
 Ex: load, arithmetic operation, memory store
Features of CISC:
 Initially made to do very complex instructions.
 Instructions can operate directly on memory
 Small number of general purpose registers
 Instructions take multiple clocks to execute
 Few lines of code per operation
2) MCU(Instruction Set):
11

RISC
Reduced Instruction Set Computer
 RISC is a CPU design that recognizes only a limited number of
instructions
 Simple instructions
 Instructions are executed quickly
Features of RISC:
 Found to be more efficient in computing very complex instructions
by using many of very short and simple instructions.
 Executes a series of simple instruction instead of a complex
instruction
 Instructions are executed within one clock cycle.
 Incorporates a large number of general registers for arithmetic
operations to avoid storing variables on a stack in memory.
 Only the load and store instructions operate directly onto memory.
2) MCU (Instruction Set):
12

RISC Vs CISC
2) MCU (Instruction Set):
13

Register File: A (usually) relatively small memory embedded on
the CPU. It is used as a scratchpad for temporary storage of
values the CPU is working with you could call it the CPU’s short
term memory.
Data Memory: For longer term storage, generic CPUs usually
employ an external memory which is much larger than the
register file. Data that is stored there may be short-lived, but
may also be valid for as long as the CPU is running
Instruction Memory: Like the data memory, the instruction
memory is usually a relatively large external memory (at
least with general CPUs)
2) MCU(Memory Types):
14

2) MCU (Memory Types):
15

Volatile Memory RAM (Random access memory):
1)SRAM (Static RAM):
 SRAM consists of flip flops (Electronic component that can store data).
 Expensive.
 Exists in small sizes.
 DRAM consists of capacitors (Electronic component that can
store data by charging and discharging).
 Needs refresh circuit to keep the capacitors charged (when
holding ‘1’).
 Inexpensive.
 Exists in larger sizes.
2)DRAM (Dynamic RAM):
16

Non Volatile memories ROM (Read only memory):
PROM (Programmable ROM )
1- One time programmable (OTP).
2- Used to protect the data that can’t be erased and rewritten.
EPROM (Erasable PROM)
1. Multi-time programmable.
2. Can be erased using UV (Ultraviolet) rays from the sun.
3. Needs long time to be erased (about 20 minutes).
17

EEPROM (Electrically EPROM)
2. Can be erased using Electricity (from PC).
3. Needs short time to be erased (few milliseconds).
Flash EEPROM
2. Can be erased using Electricity (from PC).
3. Needs very short time to be erased (few microseconds).
18

2) MCU (Memories Located in MCUS):
19

2) MCU (Registers in MCUS):
The memory in which the microcontroller stored data
during the execution of the program.
Classified into two types:
1. General purpose registers.
 There are 30 General purpose registers in microcontrollers rages from R1 to
R31.
 Any variables are declared in the program are stored in this registers, like the
variables of mathematical operations.
2. Special function registers.
• Special function registers are registers defined by the manufacturer of the
microcontroller itself to give an access to the features of microcontroller like
Timer, SPI, UART, ADC, IO ports and external interrupt modules.
• Ex:
DDRA: determine the state of this port I/p or O/p
PORTA: determine if the port generate logic 1 or 0.
20

2) MCU (Comparison between Different types of MCUs):
21

3)DSP (Digital Signal Processor):
Advantages of DSP
 Conventional DSP devices are well-suited to a wide range of
applications requiring mathematical processing power.
 This arises from the high-speed DSP cores of the devices and a number
of architectural features.
 DSPs typically support a single-cycle multiply-accumulate function,
crucial to efficient DSP algorithm implementations.
Disadvantages of DSP:
 Not Suitable for application requiring Computaional processing power and
interrupts.
 Doesn’t include automotive communication module (CAN,LIN).
 Very Expensive Compared with MCU.
22

3)DSC (Digital Signal Controller):
DSC series of devices specifically addresses two main application requirement
areas.
First, computational requirements associated with complex control algorithms are
met by a high-speed core, capable of executing up to 40 million
multiply-accumulate operations per second.
Second, control system interface requirements are met by a rich integrated
peripheral set, including PWM capability, analog-to-digital conversion, bit I/O,
and multiple serial interfaces.
Examples:
1) The 56F800 DSC series (Free Scale).
2)The Lm4f123 DSC (Texas Instruments)
23

Types of Compilers
1) Atemel Studio (GCC Compiler):
The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a compiler system produced by
the GNU Project supporting various programming languages.
GCC is a key component of the GNU toolchain.
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) distributes GCC under the GNU General
Public License (GNU GPL)
GCC target processor families as of version 4.3 include:
Alpha,ARM,AVR,Blackfin,H8/300,HC12,IA-32 (x86),IA-64,MIPS,Motorola
68000,PA-RISC,PDP-11,PowerPC,R8C / M16C / M32C,SPARC,SPU,SuperH
System/390 / zSeriesVAX,x86-64
24

Types of Compilers
2)CodeVision:
Is the only integrated development environment on the market that features
an automatic program generator for AVR Family.
It targets only the AVR Processor.

PORTx Register:
 The PORTx register determines whether the output should be HIGH or
LOW of the pins.
 DDRx initializes the port shown in the following figure.
Examples of setting the output
PORTD = 0b01001001;
PORTD = 0x49; //suitable to define all pins of the port.
PORTD = (1 << 0)|(1 << 3)|(1 << 6);
PORTD|=(1<<PIND0) | (1<<PIND3) |(1<<PIND6);// using bitwise suitable to
define one pin.

PINx Register:
 The PINx register gets the reading from the input pins of the MCU.
 The register goes as follows:
Examples of setting the input
