This all-in-one reference offers comprehensive, in-depth coverage of the M68HC11 to readers who will be designing real systems using this popular microcontroller. Focusing on the M68HC11 as a laboratory measurement and process control platform, it provides all the design and development tools needed to create a microcontroller-based “product” that can solve common application problems; no outside data or references are needed. Organized into four sections: Part I covers the M68HC11 microcontroller and the Evaluation Board (EVB) system; Part II features new chapters on Program Design and Designing and Writing Program Modules; Part III includes four re-written chapters on software considerations and hardware design procedures to acquire input data and provide output interface and control with the microcontroller; Part IV provides five applications chapters solving five typical engineering problems. Appropriate for anyone interested in microcontrollers or microprocessors.
Shows how measuring process variables and interfacing output commands from the controller can be organized effectively by employing an engineering design procedure with practical application examples. Topics include the M68HC11 microcontroller programmer's model, addressing modes, instruction set, EVB commands, utility subroutines, assembler software, interfacing analog signals, output peripherals, and software control. The last four chapters give examples of measurement system designs for temperature, pressure, and weight. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
