EZ-MICRO Tutor
Microprocessor Design Using MC68HC11
America's first and only complete microprocessor design course. Now
available for community colleges, colleges and universities. The easy
and affordable way to make a microprocessor design course part of your
engineering curriculum. The course is based on Motorola microcontroller
MC68HC11.

The EZ-MICRO Tutor system provides:
* Step-by-step procedures for instructors
* Student workbooks to guarantee successful
instruction
Package includes:
* Main tutorial board
* Student workbook
* Instructor's workbook with answers
* And, most importantly, lab project boards

Main Tutorial Board and Lab Project Boards
EZ-Micro Tutor main tutorial board from AMS uses the Motorola MC68HC11
microprocessor, monitor EPROM, RAM, serial interface to IBM compatible
PC and expansion bus connector.

The monitor EPROM serves two important functions: It allows students
to communicate with the CPU via a serial interface, and it also works
as a boot EPROM, which brings the microprocessor up to a predetermined
stage after the power-on sequence.

The 8k bytes of RAM on the main board are used to store the user's
program and data variables. The main board also has a serial
interface to IBM compatible personal computers. This serial interface
allows the user to download commands and programs to main board RAM.

The expansion bus connector on the main board is very important,
because it allows the student to connect to several lab projects
available from
AMS. The student can design his or her own lab project and connect it
to the main microprocessor board using wire-wrap board. The additional
lab project board allows the student to learn hardware design, as well
as software design.

The lab project boards are designed to provide in-depth knowledge of
microprocessor hardware and software design. They also give hands-on
training in testing, troubleshooting and soldering. The lab project
board applications range from Liquid Crystal Display board to motor
control board to an introduction to DSP.

EZ-MICRO Tutor Features
* The only complete learning tool for students studying
microprocessor design
* EZ-COURSEWARE book explains the principles, architecture
and addressing modes of microprocessors
* Easy-to-understand language for main learning board and
lab projects
* Easy integration into your engineering curriculum


WORKBOOK -- Integrated Part of the Program

Each of the EZ-COURSEWARE series educational programs is a integrated
curriculum and come with a student version and instructor version of
the workbook. Each book contains what you need to know to make
complex subject easy-to-learn.

The workbook contains detailed explanations of theory and also
includes different lab projects for students to complete. Each
chapter ends with questions and suggested lab projects.

The instructor workbook includes answers to all the questions, gives
the schematic designs of all the hardware lab projects and has a
software listing of all the software lab projects.

Each student workbook includes free software which becomes part of his
or her own software library. With EZ-ROUTE Tutor get a copy of
EZ-LOGIC schematic capture software. With EZ-MICRO Tutor and EZ-DSP
Tutor the student receives an integrated package of an integrated
package of assembler and debugger.
