Using the MCS-51 Microcontroller

This extensively detailed and comprehensive introduction to the Intel MCS-51 microcontroller covers both theoretical and design and implementation issues. The text begins with the MCS-51 CPU architecture and programming model and then discusses the details of the MCS-51 instruction set and assembly programming techniques. It goes on to cover the full spectrum of I/O functions of the MCS-51 variants, progressively developing topics from the simple to the complex; the author first deals with the general concept behind each I/O function, then discusses the specifics of the MCS-51. Numerous design examples and exercises illustrate the ideas presented, helping students to grasp key concepts and learn the applications. An ideal text for the first course in microprocessors or microcontrollers, Using the MCS-51 Microcontroller also includes extensive program and interfacing examples and is a helpful reference for practicing engineers.
