Department: Electronics engineering Year: 4th Year (Computer Total Marks: 70
and electrical communication Engineering and Control) Examiner: Dr.Refaat Mohamed Fikry
Course Title: Computer Engineering (2) Corse Code: EEC 4007 Term: second term
Date: 5-6-2021 4 papers Allowed Time: 3 Hours

1) Answer briefly on the following questions (25 Points):

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of embedded system?
2. What is the advantage of the interrupt in microcontroller programming?
3. Explain difference between signal and variable in VHDL.
4. Explain FPGA internal Architecture.
5. Distinguish between FPGA and Microcontroller.
2) Answer on the following questions (20 Points):
1. Write a C program, utilizing timer interrupt and external interrupt of the
ATMega328P, that when download to it in the figure below will display
continuously the sequence 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 on seven-segment display (which connected
from PC0 to PC6) after 2 sec between each displayed number.
And when the push-button switch (which is connected to PD2) is pressed on falling
edge "any time", the counter is resettled to Zero and displayed on seven-segment the
number 0 . After that it continue to repeat to display the sequence again .
 2. Write a VHDL code for 8 to 3 encoder
3. Develop VHDL Code for following logic.

A B C X
0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 1
0 1 1 0
1 0 0 1
1 0 1 0
1 1 0 0
1 1 1 1
