314328-Microcontroller & Applications
I. RATIONALE
Microcontrollers plays a very important role in the design, development of embedded systems. Automation is
used in every field of engineering and microcontroller is inbuilt component of these systems. Diploma engineers
have to deal with various microcontroller based systems and maintain them. This course will enable the
students to develop the skills to use and maintain microcontroller based applications.
1. FA-TH represents average of two class tests of 30 marks each conducted during the semester.
2. If candidate is not securing minimum passing marks in FA-PR of any course then the candidate shall be
declared as "Detained" in that semester.
3. If candidate is not securing minimum passing marks in SLA of any course then the candidate shall be
declared as fail and will have to repeat and resubmit SLA work.
4. Notional Learning hours for the semester are (CL+LL+TL+SL)hrs.* 15 Weeks
5. 1 credit is equivalent to 30 Notional hrs.
6. * Self learning hours shall not be reflected in the Time Table.
7. * Self learning includes micro project / assignment / other activities.
VII. SUGGESTED MICRO PROJECT / ASSIGNMENT/ ACTIVITIES FOR SPECIFIC LEARNING / SKILLS
DEVELOPMENT (SELF LEARNING)
Micro project
Student Activity
Assignment
Prepare a chart of various features using data sheets of 8051 microcontroller and its derivatives.
Prepare chart of stepper motor to display its features and steps for its operations using data sheets.
Prepare a chart of various types of ADC and DAC to display its features and pin functions using data sheets.
Prepare a chart of various types of LCDs to display its features , pin functions and steps of operations using data
sheets.
Prepare a power point presentation on 8051 interfacing/applications.
Note :
Above is just a suggestive list of microprojects and assignments; faculty must prepare their own bank of
microprojects, assignments, and activities in a similar way.
The faculty must allocate judicial mix of tasks, considering the weaknesses and / strengths of the student in
acquiring the desired skills.
If a microproject is assigned, it is expected to be completed as a group activity.
SLA marks shall be awarded as per the continuous assessment record.
For courses with no SLA component the list of suggestive microprojects / assignments/ activities are
optional, faculty may encourage students to perform these tasks for enhanced learning experiences.
If the course does not have associated SLA component, above suggestive listings is applicable to Tutorials
and maybe considered for FA-PR evaluations.

X. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGIES/TOOLS
Two offline unit tests of 30 marks and average of two unit test marks will be consider for out of 30 marks.
For formative assessment of laboratory learning 25 marks.
Each practical will be assessed considering 60% weightage to process, 40% weightage to product.
Teachers are requested to check the creative common license status/financial implications of the suggested
online educational resources before use by the students
