Overview

This book explores the 80251 microcontroller—an update of the industry standard 8051 featuring new components that enhance its programming in C. Despite the attractiveness of the C programming language, the author emphasizes assembly code programming as a foundational skill for embedded controller programmers and system designers. Coverage opens with a tutorial on fundamental computer operation and programming, waiting until late in the text to examine C programming concepts and examples. A wealth of applications are presented throughout, some involving I/O ports and timers; four exploring pulse generation and measurement; two A/D, D/A applications; three serial data applications; and two low-power applications. For engineering/engineering technology programmers and system designers.

Intended to be used in a first course in engineering technology and computer science programs, this book explains the operations of high- speed replacement for the 8051 microcontroller while emphasizing assembly code programming as a foundation for embedded controllers programmers and system designers. A background in digital logic design is assumed. The CD-ROM contains an evaluation version of the software provided to industry for the simulation of the operations of the 80251. Annotation c.
