Microprocessor Architecture, Programming, and Applications with the 8085

A textbook for an introductory undergraduate course in technology and engineering contexts. Assumes a previous course in digital logic, but no background in programming. Uses the eight-bit microprocessor chip because it is still widely used in embedded systems for industry and consumer appliances, though it has been superseded by the 32-bit chip in computers themselves, and is simple enough to demonstrate all the necessary concepts, which can then be applied to more powerful chips. Covers both the hardware and software applications of the programmable logic device. No bibliography. The 1984 edition was published by Merrill and the 1989 by Macmillan; Prentice-Hall took the helm for the 1996 edition. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

GAONKAR, Microprocessor Architecture, Programming, and Applications with the 8085, 4E/* Revised to include the most recent technological changes, this comprehensive survey offers an integrated treatment of both the hardware and software aspects of the microprocessor, focusing on the 8085 microprocessor family to teach the basic concepts underlying programmable devices. Providing a sound pedagogy - from basic concepts to applications - it prepares users to apply concepts learned to a variety of situations they may encounter in their future jobs. Covers the hardware aspects of the microcomputer as a system - using a spiral approach in exploring and re-exploring topics from various perspectives; introduces programming step-by-step, beginning with 8085 instructions; examines programming techniques, program development, and software development systems; and integrates hardware and software concepts in interfacing and designing microprocessor-based products. Examines 68HC11 microcontrollers, 486 and Pentium 32-bit processors, and RISC processors, and considers the interfacing of I/Os - supporting discussions with many industrial and practical examples. Now replaces DMA controller 8257 with the 8237; shows how to interface a LCD module; replaces the Intel SDK-85 system with EMAC Primer (a stand-alone single-board microcomputer system with a Hex keyboard and LED displays which can be used with a PC); and provides complete data sheets for 8259, 8237, and a LCD panel. Both hardware and software troubleshooting problems are included.
