Amongst the several courses, B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering is one of them.

Paper Description:

The Advanced Microprocessors & Microcontrollers Papers basically contains the information about the basic requirements of computers, microcontrollers and microprocessor. This paper also provides the knowledge about the structure, programs and the internal architecture of microprocessors. Troubleshooting, timing and system connections are also included in this paper. It also provides the information about the 16 bit and 32 bit microprocessor and microcontroller. The specification and design of different microprocessors are also taught in this paper.

Paper Pattern:

The 5th Sem-Advanced Microprocessors & Microcontrollers Papers basically carries questions related to the theoretical part of the paper. There are at least ten questions available in the question paper and one should have to answer only five questions. Each question has an alternative option. So, all the appearing candidates need to make the selection of the questions which they can answer.

Frequently Asked Questions:

From the 5th Sem-Advanced Microprocessors & Microcontrollers Papers, questions that are repeated most of the time are RISC architecture, pro architecture, BIOS function call etc. There also few questions like 5th DOS function, different program development tools etc are also counted under the important ones.

Full Marks and Time Allotted:

The paper carries a maximum of 100 marks and time span allotted to answer the entire question is three hours.
