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.
Key Benefit: This comprehensive book presents all of the topics required for an introductory course in the 8051 microcontroller. Key Topics: 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).
