About this title

From the Back Cover

Your complete selection and application guide! Four billion, and counting. That's the number of microcontrollers already shipped in products from toys to satellites. This much-needed reference is the first to cover all the most common types of 8-bit microcontrollers. With its from-the-bottom-up approach, this book/CD-ROM package gives you all the information you need to simplify the job of selecting the right microcontroller and writing your application. The Handbook of Microcontrollers: introduces all common microcontrollers and explains how they work; fully describes each microcontroller's processor architecture; gives the instruction set for the built-in processor, with each instruction fully defined; clarifies microcontroller features and peripherals; shows you common methods of interfacing microcontrollers with peripheral devices and hot PC hosts; provides numerous application examples with source code; CD-ROM includes the source code for each application and development tools for each microcontroller. From the basics to hands-on applications, projects, and experiments, this book gives both professionals and high-level hobbyists real tools for choosing the right microcontroller and getting the most out of it. With a wealth of comparison charts, software tools, and state-of-the-art information, this reference is one that you'll turn to again and again.
