Microcontroller Interrupts
In Microcontroller Interrupts, you'll learn ...
- What interrupts are
- How interrupts work
- Types of interrupts
- How interrupts are used
Overview
This course covers the basics of using interrupts in microcontroller-based systems. Although interrupts introduce potential problems to microcontroller designs, sometimes they are the best way or even the only way to solve some problems. As long as the pitfalls are avoided, interrupts are a powerful tool in designing microcontroller-based systems.
By the end of this course, you should have a working knowledge of how interrupts are used in microcontroller systems. This is an introductory course, but you should have a basic knowledge of computers and software prior to taking this course.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Importance of context
- Configuring interrupts
- Potential problems when using interrupts
- Integrating interrupts into microcontroller software
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
