Overview

Focusing on the "must-know", this text provides one-volume coverage of the fundamentals of both digital electronics and microprocessors, helping the reader to become proficient at both the hardware and software aspects of microprocessor-based systems. It uses a simple, easy-to-understand writing style, an abundance of clearly explained examples, and nearly 1,000 illustrations to explain practical applications and problems using industry-standard ICs and circuits and schematics that the reader will encounter on the job. Important features of this text are many: coordinates digital/microprocessor coverage throughout the text; first provides all theory required to understand a particular IC or circuit, then gives examples of its use; includes examples and system design applications that give a complete explanation of circuit operation - with all required hardware and software, so they can be duplicated in the lab; uses the 8085A microprocessor and 8051 microcontroller to explain the fundamentals of microprocessor architecture, programming, and hardware; clearly explains the microprocessor program solutions for the 8085 and 8051; includes a glossary for each chapter; and contains a Supplementary Index of ICs and an Instruction Set Reference Encyclopedia. Complete with end-of-chapter summaries, numerous appendixes, and schematic interpretation problems (all of which are new to this second edition), this text is an essential source for the fundamentals of theory and applications.

Kleitz (Tompkins Cortland Community College) updates his textbook for either an accelerated one-semester course integrating fundamentals of digital and microprocessor technology, or two one-semester courses. The first chapters explain digital fundamentals, which are then referred to from the later section on microprocessors. Students are assumed to have no background in either subject, and to have a mathematics sophistication typical for a vocational school of two or four years. The first edition appeared in 1990 and the second in 1997. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
