DIPLOMA IN ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING

For 8051 Microcontroller courses requiring a time tested and classroom proven textbook. MacKenzie's 8051 Microcontroller text emphasises the programming of the 8051 by illustrating the two most widely used programming methods; Assembly Language and C programming. This text assumes no prior knowledge of the subject and progressively introduces 8051 Microcontroller concepts while reinforcing those concepts with plenty of examples and exercies.

Using a clear writing style and a "nuts and bolts" approach, this book describes the entire field of embedded controllers -- hardware, software, and interfacing -- using the Intel 8051 microcontroller as an example. The emphasis throughout is on interfacing the 8051 to real-world devices such as switches, displays, motors, A/D converters, etc. -- through both assembly language and C language programming. Provides abundant programming examples both in assembly language and in C throughout. Covers: Architecture of a Microcomputer; The 8051 Single-Chip Microcontroller; Interfacing: Hardware and Software; State Machines and Interrupt Timing; System Design Techniques; Project Design; Introduction to Assembly Languages; Mcs #65533; -- 51 Programmers Guide and Instruction Set; and ASCII and EBCDIC Tables. Provides extensive discussion of device characteristics as well as many typical interfaces, such as RS-232 and IEEE-488. A reference for anyone whose work requires familiarity with microcontrollers.

Short, concise, and easily-accessible, this book uses the 8085A microprocessor and 8051 microcontroller to explain the fundamentals of microprocessor architecture, programming, and hardware. It features only practical, workable designs so that readers can develop a complete understanding of the application with no frustrating gaps in the explanations. An abundance of real-life hardware, software, and schematic interpretation problems prepare readers to troubleshoot and trace signals through situations they will likely encounter on the job.
