80251 Microcontroller, The

by Kenneth J. Ayala

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.
