Embedded Microcomputer Systems: Real Time Interfacing provides an in-depth discussion of the design of real-time embedded systems using 9S12 microcontrollers. This book covers the hardware aspects of interfacing, advanced software topics (including interrupts), and a systems approach to typical embedded applications. This text stands out from other microcomputer systems books because of its balanced, in-depth treatment of both hardware and software issues important in real time embedded systems design. It features a wealth of detailed case studies that demonstrate basic concepts in the context of actual working examples of systems. It also features a unique simulation software package on the bound-in CD-ROM (called Test Execute and Simulate, or TexaS, for short) – that provides a self-contained software environment for designing, writing, implementing, and testing both the hardware and software components of embedded systems.
Principles and Applications of Microcomputers is a comprehensive textbook, which exemplifies the fundamental principles and applications of microcomputers with the most popular 8051 microcontroller and the Keil C51-MDK (microcomputer development kit). After reading this book, you will be able to design various microprocessor- or microcomputer-based application systems. The main features of this book are as follows: -- Partition the MCS-51 instruction set into many pedagogic groups suitable for entry-level readers and then illustrate them with an abundant number of examples. -- Introduce MCS-51 C programming with most popular topics and then balance the programming of assembly-language and C programs in the design of MCS-51 microcontroller applications. -- Divide the MCS-51 system into the software model and the hardware model. The software model is first introduced and then the hardware model follows. This way greatly facilitates the reader to study a microcomputer system. -- Discuss in detail features and applications of SRAM and Flash. The design of memory modules and the timing consideration related to the MCS-51 are also involved. -- Deal with the interrupt handling, system reset, and watchdog, as well as power control and management of the MCS-51 system. -- Detail I/O concepts and structures, serial/parallel data transfer and control, and ADC/DAC circuits, as well the structures and features of MCS-51 I/O ports, including serial port, SPI, and I2C. Besides, various timers/counters are dealt with in depth. -- Address the structures, functions, and applications of various timers/counters and programmable timers. -- Involve design principles of keyboards circuits, including both polling and interrupt methods, as well as circuit modules and applications of LED and LCD displays. -- Provide an abundance of review questions to each section to help readers evaluate their understandings about the topics introduced in the section. This book can be used as the textbook for the following courses and others: Assembly-Language Programming, Fundamental Principles of Microcomputers, or Principles and Applications of Microcomputers.
An introduction to microprocessors, updated to cover recent models. Designed as a first course in microcomputers, this new edition covers the hardware and machine language software of the 8080/8085 and Z-80 8-bit microprocessors. It explores various aspects of microcomputer technology using examples of 8080/8085 and Z-80 applications.
Microprocessor, Microcomputer and their Applications, 3/e, in three parts, covers the hardware, software and the applications of microcomputers. This book covers single chip microcomputers (microcontrollers) emphasizing on the architecture, memory organization, programming technique and a large number of programming examples. Interfacing techniques have been explained clearly with the aid of diagrams, charts and tables alongwith the input/output devices and controlling and peripheral devices.The book is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Allied fields of engineering and sciences.
Microprocessor Interfacing provides the coverage of the Business and Technician Education Council level NIII unit in Microprocessor Interfacing (syllabus U86/335). Composed of seven chapters, the book explains the foundation in microprocessor interfacing techniques in hardware and software that can be used for problem identification and solving. The book focuses on the 6502, Z80, and 6800/02 microprocessor families. The technique starts with signal conditioning, filtering, and cleaning before the signal can be processed. The signal conversion, from analog to digital or vice versa, is explained to answer why conversion is necessary for the microcomputer or processor. The types of analogue to digital converter, voltage measurements, scaling, and interfacing with ADC to a microcomputer are all taken into account. After the signal has been converted into readable data, the date transfer techniques are described. For data between systems and subsystems to be efficient, the timing, electrical, I/O lines, serial data, and bus structure should be considered. A more detailed explanation of parallel I/O controllers as applied to Z80 PIO and the 6821 PIA follows. For serial I/O controllers, the serial data transfers, speed in baud rate, software routines, and ASCII codes are all examined. Finally, the dedicated I/O controllers involving keyboard encoding, the ASCII (QWERTY) keyboard interface, the visual display unit, cathode ray tube controller devices, and the drive controllers are discussed, as each of these requires one specific application. This book is useful for computer engineers, software engineers, computer technicians, teachers, and instructors in the field of computing learning. This text can also be an informative reading for those have great interest in computer hardware.
This book explains how computers interact with the world around them and therefore how to make them a useful tool. Topics covered include descriptions of all the components that make up a computer, principles of data exchange, interaction with peripherals, serial communication, input devices, recording methods, computer-controlled motors, and printers. In an informative and straightforward manner, Graham Dixey describes how to turn what might seem an incomprehensible 'black box' PC into a powerful and enjoyable tool that can help you in all areas of your work and leisure. With plenty of handy tips and clear illustrations this book can improve your computer system, and even shows new uses for old kit such as motor control.
