Microcontroller Technology: The 68HC11

This updated edition continues to provide readers with the background needed to understand and use any 8-bit microcontrollers, specifically the very popular Motorola 68HC11 and 68HC12. Covering a wide range of topics, at a wide range of levels, it serves as a guide to real-time control software and interfacing, and concentrates on applications throughout—encouraging hands-on practice using computer simulation or an evaluation board. It starts at an introductory level, explaining the applications and origins of microcontrollers; then develops a programmer's view of the machine; and finally covers machine hardware and how to connect it to the outside world. An excellent collection of appendices provides easy reference. This book is an excellent guide and reference for interested amateurs and experienced users of microcontrollers.

After introductory material explaining the applications and origins of microcontrollers, a programmer's view is developed, the hardware is described, and instructions are given for connection to the outside world for control applications. The accompanying CD-ROM contains source code, a demo version of the THRSim11 simulator, a IC11 demo C compiler, a cross assembler, and electronic design tools. The book can be used as a text in introductory, interfacing, industrial control courses for students with background in digital logic and numbering systems. This fourth edition uses C program examples throughout, and contains new appendices to reinforce key topics. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
