Synopsis

This book is a thoroughly practical way to explore the 8051 and discover C programming through project work. Through graded projects, Dogan Ibrahim introduces the reader to the fundamentals of microelectronics, the 8051 family, programming in C, and the use of a C compiler. The specific device used for examples is the AT89C2051 - a small, economical chip with re-writable memory, readily available from the major component suppliers.

A working knowledge of microcontrollers, and how to program them, is essential for all students of electronics. In this rapidly expanding field many students and professionals at all levels need to get up to speed with practical microcontroller applications. Their rapid fall in price has made microcontrollers the most exciting and accessible new development in electronics for years - rendering them equally popular with engineers, electronics hobbyists and teachers looking for a fresh range of projects.

Microcontroller Projects in C for the 8051 is an ideal resource for self-study as well as providing an interesting, enjoyable and easily mastered alternative to more theoretical textbooks.

• Practical projects that enable students and practitioners to get up and running straight away with 8051 microcontrollers
• A hands-on introduction to practical C programming
• A wealth of project ideas for students and enthusiasts

Review

"The projects are well chosen and they illustrate a number of practical applications in sufficient detail for readers to be able to develop the work further... The 8051 microcomputer architecture is immensely popular and the Amtel processor used by the author is an ideal vehicle for introducing microcontroller applications." --Mike Tooley

"The book is very much focused on projects. These are quite simple in concept, and would be excellent for a college course or even early years at university. They develop nicely in complexity and sophistication and are consistently structured and laid out." --Mike James
