Study Notes
Mechatronics Engineering (OFRME200) - Lecture 9
- Course: Mechatronics Engineering (OFRME200)
- Level: 2
- Semester: Fall
- Instructor: Walaa Shoeib
- Faculty: Electronic Engineering, Menoufia University
Chapter 5: Microcontroller Structure
- This chapter focuses on the structure of Microcontrollers.
Introduction
- Computers have three main sections:
- Control Processing Unit (CPU): Recognizes and executes program instructions.
- Input/Output (I/O) Circuitry: Handles communication between the computer and the outside world.
- Memory: Stores program instructions and data.
- Digital signals move between sections along paths called buses.
- A bus, physically, is a group of conductors carrying electrical signals.
Introduction (continued)
- The data associated with CPU processing function is carried by the data bus.
- The information specifying memory location for data access is carried by the address bus.
- Control signals are carried by the control bus.
Buses
- The data bus transfers words to or from the CPU, memory, or input/output interfaces.
- Word length can be 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits.
- Each bus wire carries a binary signal (0 or 1).
The Center Processing Unit (CPU)
- The CPU processes data, fetches instructions from memory, decodes them, and executes them.
- It consists of:
- Control Unit: Determines timing and sequence of operations.
- Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): Performs data manipulation.
- Registers: Temporarily hold data the CPU uses during instruction execution.
- The Motorola 6800 uses a clock with a 1 MHz maximum frequency, and instructions take 2 - 12 clock cycles.
Accumulator
- A temporary storage location for data used by the arithmetic and logic unit.
- Used to hold data during processing before transferring it elsewhere.
- Used to hold the results of calculations.
- Used in all data transfers related to arithmetic and logic operations.
Status Register
- Contains information on the result of the latest processing operation in the ALU.
- Contains bits called flags, each with a unique significance.
- Flags indicate the status of the operation, for example, whether the last operation resulted in a negative, zero, carry, or overflow result.
- Flags can also indicate if the program should be interrupted for an external event.
