Microprocessor and PLC Program Offered at Kenya Technical Training College

Certificate Fee: on application Intake: Ongoing

Certificate (Accredited by: Kenya Technical Training College)

About Microprocessor and PLC Certificate program.

A Microprocessor is a computer processor that combines together the functions of a central processing unit into a single integrated circuit popularly abbreviated as IC, or sometimes up to 8 integrated circuits.

This certificate program in microprocessors  and PLC provides the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to enable you to use microprocessors in industrial applications.

Some highlights of the course sequence include electronic simulations and calculations; theoretical and laboratory applications of digital logic circuits, operational amplifiers, D/A and A/D converters, computer memory circuits; microprocessor assembly language, Visual Basic, and “C” programming; EEPROM and EPROM programming; microprocessors and microcontrollers; experimental applications; and applied, practical projects.

Special emphasis is placed on embedded systems using microcontrollers.
