Thesis deals with support of educational courses focused to single chip microprocessors in secondary schools. It includes a text introducing students to the use of single microprocessor and provides examples to their applications.

This thesis solves the development of Power Line Monitor. The thesis also describes the specific implementation of hardware, software and results.

In essence, this master’s thesis focuses on search and project on optimal electrical scheme, which will substitute for digital oscilloscope function. The thesis consist of three parts, first part is about problems associated with oscilloscope signal sampling and data bus descriptions, second part where are selected particular circuits, electrical scheme, eventually shown different options which could be used. Third part consists of software function description developed for controlling microprocessor. In choosing of analog devices, are focused on parameters like maximal input voltage on which the device has most ideal parameters, but also parameters, which are critical for particular block, like for example input impedance, device noise, operating amplifier input voltage and current offset. All devices were chosen with battery supply possibility, so what the lowest possible power consumption. In this thesis is theoretically described each circuit block and reasons for their selection.

This diploma thesis deals with design of microprocessor controlled battery charger. Thesis contains circuit diagram of final charger. In this thesist there is created functioning software for control of this battery charger. Charger is than manufactured.

Thesis deals with electronic ignition for a two-cylinder two-stroke engines. In the thesis is described the existing ignition system. In the thesis are described measurement options of the position ot the engine crankshaft. The ignition system is designed mainly for motor JAWA, CZ and motor Trabant. The design is focused on reliability of entire circuit. The main advantage of the entire proposed design is possibility to adjustable ignition curve, depending on several external parameters such as speed or temperature of the engine. The proposed ignition has been tested in vehicle Velorex.

The aim of the thesis is to explain and introduce the indiviudal components and control proceedings in the systems of automatic control of intelligent houses. The thesis is divided into three parts. In the first part I deal with the general description and structure of the house automatic systems, their availability and application in wiring practise. The second part is focused on the proceedings used in RC5 infra-red area and the most used X10 PowerLine protocol and its processing by AVR microprocessors. The third part is concentrated on the practical construction of a module with a microprocessor enabling the development and education of user applications for the substance of the automation system and that extend it in other possibilities of communication such as ethernet and WiFi networks, eventually GSM mobile network.

This thesis aims to explain the evolution and transformation of the microchip industry. It focuses on the changes and prediction of the future state including its causes and consequences. The analysis starts on the general description of the market and continues through its subjects ending on relationships between them. This serves as a source of information to the prediction in the final part of the thesis. In the beginning the products, which are taken into consideration in this work (namely CPUs, GPUs and APUs), are described. Following this, there is an analysis of the competition environment that defines a structure of the market upon which further work is based. (Three levels; the manufacturer of photolithographic machines, makers of the chips and their designers and OEM and aftermarket subjects.) The penultimate part defines the barriers to entry to this market and three categories are drawn up: economic, technical and geoeconomic, which are applied to every level of the market. Thus all prerequisites to a successful prediction are satisfied. In the last part of the thesis the prognosis is made and defined, along with its assumptions and limitations. In the concluding part of this work the consequences and results are summarized.

The diploma thesis is dealing with the area of controlling and safety technology for the railway transportation. The problems of the design and practical realization of an functional sample of switching unit supplying the ends of a track circuit are solved here. The switching unit enables the operation of the train control system. The outline of the design is formed by a power switch operated with a microprocessor. In addition, for the increase in safety the switching unit contains a control processor, which is controlling the right function of a work microprocessor and the failure-free state of a power switch.

The main goal of this project is to understand broadband sold Robonova-I humanoid robot and to design new improvements. The thesis is divided into five main chapters: The first of them (Robonova-I) is concerning the kit of Robonova-I, its completion and control possibilities. In details it deals with used servo motors, their operating and compares them. The next chapter is concerning the design of the control unit along with description of architecture of the processor and control possibilities with demonstrational board. In third there is a software solution of particular methods and commands which control the unit with demonstrational board. Chapter “The Design of Printed Circuit Board” describes facilities of the designed printed circuit board. The last chapter describes the final program for robot control through the use of computer and some of the algorithms by means of which the robot controls the microprocessor.

Diploma thesis is concerned with programming of AVR microprocessors. Main task was development of compact environment where user can learn methods necessary for successful programming of microprocessor. It was necessary to make an application enabling interactive simulation of processor to reach this goal. User-friendly control, simplicity and low hardware demands are main advantages of this application. Only computer with internet connection is demanded. Complicated installation, usual for similar products, is avoided.
