The 8051 Microcontroller, 2 Edition

Well known in this discipline to be the most concise yet adequate treatment of the subject matter, it provides just enough detail in a direct exposition of the 8051 microcontroller’s internal hardware components. This book provides an introduction to microcontrollers, a hardware summary, and an instruction set summary. It covers timer operation, serial port operation, interrupt operation, assembly language programming, 8051 C programming, program structure and design, and tools and techniques for program development. For microprocessor programmers, electronic engineering specialist, computer scientists, or electrical engineers.

From the Publisher
This comprehensive text presents all of the topics required for an introductory course in the 8051 microcontroller. Starting at a rudimentary level –What is a microprocessor? What is a microcontroller? – coverage evolves to encompass complete, finished design examples using such software tools as the assembler (ASM51), the linker (RL51), and the object-to-hex conversion utility (OH). Additionally, a simple single-board, 10-chip computer project is provided. This hands-on project is easy-to-build, and develops into a working prototype 8051 computer that can be used in the classroom or lab to demonstrate principles.
