The Electronics
and Communication department of Christ university faculty of engineering, Texas
instruments India University program and EdGate Technologies private limited
arranged “The three day workshop on MSP430 microcontroller and DSP processors”
in association with academic staff college on 17, 20 and 21 October 2014.
The program began with a detailed study of
MSP430 microcontroller architecture. It is a 16-bit mixed signal
microcontroller designed for low cost low power applications. The design is
based on the Von-Neuman architecture with reduced instruction set. The
processor speed is 25MHz and have 256 KB flash memory with 18KB RAM.
DAY 2: 20-10-2014: MSP430 Hands On
and Introduction to DSP Processor TMS320C6000
The hands on
session started with setting up the board for programming with the software
tool Code Composer Studio. The programming is based on C, which will be
compiled and written to the memory by the Code Composer Studio itself.
Further hands on
was done on how temperature sensor and ADC interface works on the board is
demonstrated and experimented. Displaying the room temperature and the voltage
level given by a potentiometer integrated to the board was the two experiments
carried out.
DAY-3: 21-10-2014: Key Note Speech by TI University Program

Key Note Address
In his speech Mr.Sanjay
Srivastava commented positively on the activities initiated by the departments
toward the growing technological trends. The main theme of the talk was about
the “Internet of Things”
Internet of
Things is the development of the current technology by which all the devices
and belongings of a person is synchronized. Agreeing upon the current imbalance
on the over usage of technology, Mr.SanjaySrivastava shared his belief that the
time when the users are matured enough in case of electronic gadget is not far.
He emphasised much upon the usage of the technology towards the societal
development in rural India.
Several
questions were raised by the faculty members ranging from the aim of the TI
university program to the current global market of the electronics.The answers
were the real eye openers.
