Synopsis

Select the right Microcontroller for any application. A straight-talking guide to all the most common 8-bit microcontrollers now in use, TAB Electronics Microcontroller Handbook, edited by Micahel Predko, tells you everything you need to know about the Intel 8051, Motorola 68HC05, Microchip PIC, Atmel AVR and Parallax Stamp MCUs. Complete with applications recommendations--from automotive parts and personal computers to household appliances and toys--this authoritative tool shows you how each microcontroller works and interfaces with peripheral devices; explains features, architecture and the instruction set for the built-in processor; and serves up example applications plus all the data necessary to develop them. A handy chart also gives you time-saving at-a-glance comparisons of different device families. Pop the included CD-ROM into your drive for manufacturers' data sheets on each controller plus example applications source files and tools required to assemble and simulate the code.

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.
