 Typically, an embedded system is housed on a single microprocessor board
with the programs stored in ROM.
 Virtually all appliances that have a digital interface -- watches, microwaves,
VCRs, cars -- utilize embedded systems.
 Some embedded systems include an operating system, but many are so
specialized that the entire logic can be implemented as a single program.

General-Purpose Microprocessor System
CPU for Computers
No RAM, ROM, I/O on CPU chip itself
Example--Intel’s x86: 8086,8088,80386,80486, Pentium
Motorola’s 680x0: 68000, 68010, 68020,68030,6040
Many chips on mother board
General-purpose microprocessor

13. Microprocessor
A microprocessor is a programmable digital electronic
component that incorporates the functions of a central
processing unit (CPU) on a single semiconducting integrated
circuit (IC).
The prime use of a microprocessor is to read data, perform
extensive calculations on that data, and store those
calculations in a mass storage device or display the results for
human use.
The programs used by the microprocessors are stored in the
mass storage device & loaded into RAM as the user directs.

Microcontroller

15. Microcontroller
An embedded microcontroller is a microcomputer that
contains most of its peripherals & required memory inside
a single integrated circuit along with the CPU.
They have a high concentration of on-chip facilities such
as serial ports, parallel input/output ports, timers,
counters, interrupt control, analog-to-digital converters,
random access memory, read only memory, etc.
The prime use of a microcontroller is to control the
operation of a machine using fixed program that is stored
in ROM & that does not change over the lifetime of the
system.

16. Microcontroller
 Uses:
1. Microcontrollers have become common in many areas, and
can be found in home appliances, computer equipment, and
instrumentation.
2. They are often used in automobiles, and have many industrial
uses as well, and have become a central part of industrial
robotics.
3. Because they are usually used to control a single process and
execute simple instructions, microcontrollers do not require
significant processing power.

17.  Uses conti…..
4. Microcontrollers are hidden inside a surprising
number of products these days.
5. If your microwave oven has an LED or LCD screen
and a keypad, it contains a microcontroller.
6. All modern automobiles contain at least one
microcontroller. The engine is controlled by a
microcontroller, as are the anti-lock brakes, the cruise
control and so on..

18. 1. Meeting the computing needs of the task efficiently and cost
effectively
• speed, the amount of ROM and RAM, the number of I/O
ports and timers, size, packaging, power consumption
• easy to upgrade
• cost per unit
2. Availability of software development tools
• assemblers, debuggers, C compilers, emulator, simulator,
technical support
3. Wide availability and reliable sources of the microcontrollers.
Three criteria in Choosing a Microcontroller

19. The necessary tools for a
microprocessor/controller
CPU: Central Processing Unit
I/O: Input /Output
Bus: Address bus & Data bus
Memory: RAM & ROM
Timer
Interrupt
Serial Port
Parallel Port

20. Why do we need to learn
Microprocessors/controllers?
The microprocessor is the core of computer
systems.
Nowadays many communication, digital
entertainment, portable devices, are
controlled by them.
A designer should know what types of
components he needs, ways to reduce
production costs and product reliable.

21. Microprocessor
CPU is stand-alone, RAM,
ROM, I/O, timer are
separate
designer can decide on the
amount of ROM, RAM and
I/O ports.
expansive
versatility
general-purpose
Ex. 8085,8086 mp, Motorola
6800, Intel’s 8086, etc.
Microcontroller
• CPU, RAM, ROM, I/O and
timer are all on a single chip
• fix amount of on-chip ROM,
RAM, I/O ports
• for applications in which cost,
power and space are critical
• single-purpose
• Ex. 8051, PIC mc, Motorola
MC’s, Phillips, etc.

39. Timers/Counters
A timer is a counter that is increased with every time an
instruction is executed e.g. 8051 with 12MHz increases a
counter every 1.085 µs
General 8051 has 3 timer:
Two 16-bit timer
One 16-bit timer with extra-functionality (introduced with
the 8052)
The counters are divided into two 8-Bit registers called the
timer low (TL0, TL1) and high (TH0, TH1) bytes.
All counters action is controlled by bit states in the timer
mode control register (TMOD), the timer/counter control
register (TCON), and certain program instructions.

40. Timers/counters
Timer: measures time intervals
To generate timed output events
 e.g., hold traffic light green for 10 s
To measure input events
 e.g., measure a car’s speed
Based on counting clock pulses
 E.g., let Clk period be 10 ns
 And we count 20,000 Clk pulses
 Then 200 microseconds have passed
 16-bit counter would count up to 65,535*10
ns = 655.35 microsecond., resolution = 10 ns

71. • In this project we try to give the same prototype for this type of trains.
•The train is designed for three stations, named as Jaipur railway station,
Sitapura & GIT College.
• The stoppage time is of 3 sec & time between two consecutive stations is 6
sec.
• There are indicators, which are used to show the train direction i.e. UP path &
Down path.
• Before stopping at station the train blows the buzzer.
• It also includes an emergency brake system due to which the train stops as
soon as the brakes are applied and resumes journey when the emergency situation
is over.
• The coding of the metro train prototype is given in the assembly language.

72. Why we choose this project ?
Our approach is to gain knowledge of Interfacing different
devices with Microcontroller for useful applications and to
fulfill the Hardware Module requirement of college
authorities.
This is such a project which can be used to perform any
kind of application depend on the modules which are
interfaced.
These leads us to Microcontroller Based Embedded
System.

73. Applications
By interfacing STEPPER MOTOR with Microcontroller, we
can make the trainer kit which controls the motion of
train.
We can also generate various types of waves such as
square, triangular and saw tooth in accordance with the
programme fed in 8051, 89c51, etc. chip.
Initially we interfaced LED, 7-segment and Keyboard and
check programme which is the purpose of trainer Kit.
In these way we go step by step for each module interface
and accomplish the goal of making a well-functioning
Trainer Kit.
Finally we will add some features by interfacing Sensors
