It systematically teaches the programming of a microcontroller in assembly language, as well as C and C++. This books also covers the principles of good programming practice through top-down design and the use of data structures. It is suitable as an introductory text for a first course on microcomputers that demonstrates what a small computer can do.

· Shows how a computer executes instructions;
· Shows how a high-level programming language converts to assembler language;
· Shows how a microcontroller is interfaced to the outside world;
· Hundreds of examples, experiments, "brain-teasers" and motivators;
· More than 20 exercises at the end of each chapter;
·Complete solutions manual available for Instructors;
· CD includes example code from book as well as the MetroWerks CodeWarriorÒ C++ compiler.

Audience: Textbook for sophmore/junior level (varies by curriculum) courses in microcontrollers/microprocessors such as: E319K Introduction to Microcontrollers at University of Texas; Self-study/reference for practicing engineers.

It systematically teaches the programming of a microcontroller in assembly language, as well as showing how C and C++ programs can be hand-compiled into assembly language. This book also covers the principles of good programming practice through top-down design and the use of data structures. It demonstrates what a small computer can do. This book goes a long way toward developing the essential skills that will make students successful computer engineers."--BOOK JACKET Computers, and microcomputers in particular, are among the most useful tools that humans have developed. The perfect choice for your one-semester course on Microcontrollers!
