68000 Microprocessor Teaching Set

zoom

The DT05 teaching set introduces students to 68000 microprocessor applications through a wide range of programming activities. The teaching set includes a 68000 microprocessor trainer, keypad/display module, applications module, power supply unit, assembly language development software, introductory textbook and two curriculum manuals.

When used in conjunction with a student PC, the curriculum manuals are fully compatible with the ClassAct computer-managed learning system. Each of the curriculum manuals is divided into a series of chapters. Each chapter covers a specific topic area and provides background theory, practical activities and student assessment questions.

Each chapter is designed around a list of performance objectives. These objectives are used by the ClassAct management system to generate a student competency report.

Instructor’s manuals are included, providing solutions to all of the questions and practical activities contained in the curriculum manuals. The teaching set is also supported by optional computer aided instruction (CAI) material.

Typical topic areas include:

• Using the TIM Microcomputer
• Introduction to 68000 Programming
• Writing Machine Code Programs
• Using the Merlin Text Editor
• Introduction to Development Systems
• Addressing Modes
• Program Debugging
• Programs with Loops
• Test and Logic Instructions
• Programming the Input/Output Ports
• Programming the Applications Module
• Stack and Subroutines
• Interrupts and other Exceptions
• Timers

Typical activities include:

• Identify the advantages of 16-bit microprocessors
• Identify the basic functions of the 68000 Data and Address Registers
• Enter and run programs that use different 68000 addressing modes
