Microcontrollers: Architecture, Implementation & Programming

by Kenneth J. Hintz, Daniel Tabak

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

This book serves two important functions for the electronics professional: describing the underlying differences among different types of microcontrollers, and familiarizing readers with the power and complexity of the latest generation of controller designs. Microcontrollers are now found in a bewildering variety of products--from antilock brakes to cash registers to robotic systems. Addressing the various ways in which a controller architecture can be implemented in hardware, the emphasis here is on real-world control problems. The book also features detailed coverage of specific microcontrollers--such as the Motorola 8-bit MC68HC11, 32-bit Intel 8051 and 80960CA.
