IL131V Basic Digital Theory with PIC-processor 7.5 credits
Tillämpad digitalteknik med PIC-processor
The course aims to provide students with basic knowledge of digital technologies and technical concepts. The course is designed for those who will use digital technology without beeing able to construct and minimize the digital technology circles. In order to solve practical problems the students will use a onechipcomputer made by digital technology komponents. The students will have gained an insight into how a onechipcomputer can be programmed and how the program code can be documented.

Learning outcomes
The digital workbench on your own kitchen table!
- With the help from our list of equipment and components, and some freeware programs found on the Internet, you will be able to setup your own digital workbench on your “kitchen table”.
- On the course web you will find material that will give you a basic orientation of the units that could be found on a PIC-processor, and how they work.
- Examples show you how a simple PIC-processor could be programmed with a Hardware-Near dialect of the C-language.
- During the course you solve the laboratory exercises at school with our lab equipment, or at home with what you have of own equipment.
- By individual choosing, and performing, your own programming project, you show that your equipment work, and that you can handle it!
Course main content
Binary numbers and codes. ALU, registers, memory technologies.
A description of the architecture of the chosen processor and its instructions.
Example of programming with assembler and with C.
- Program documentation with structure diagrams.
- I/O-units. Timers, CCP, Comparator, AD-converter.
- A programming project.
This is a quarter-time course, ordinary with one evening every week. The course language is Swedish. At every occasion theory is mixed with laboratory work.
At two of the occasions it’s mandatory to attend, at other occasions this is optional – the detailed program of the course will help you to decide what’s most efficient for you. If you study from home, you report by mail during the course.
Eligibility
Completed upper secondary education including documented proficiency in Swedish corresponding to Swedish B and English corresponding to English A.Proficiency corresponding to Mathematics D/Mathematics 3c, Physics B/Physics 2 and Chemistry A/Chemistry 1.
Literature
