Microcomputer Engineering

Presents the fundamentals of microcomputer hardware and software for those with little or no computer and electronics background, but with knowledge of digital systems. Using the Motorola 68HC11 as the example, the book covers both lecture and laboratory material.

An introductory guide to microprocessors and microcomputers, this book also serves as a reference for practicing engineers using microcomputers as control devices. The book's appendices cover the operation and use of the Motorola 68HC11 microcomputer trainer and the required support software for using its PC, editor, ad assembler. The 68HC11 -- which includes both a mocrocomputer and processor along with input/output hardware -- is used for the guide's programming examples. Hands-on learning is encouraged through detailed coverage of the 68HC11 training and support equipment.
