The 8051 microcontroller : architecture, programming, and applications

Designed as a main or supplementary text for courses on microprocessors or microcontrollers. Packaged with a customized disk containing an 8051 assembler and 8051 simulator. Focuses on programming the Intel 8051 microcontroller, one of the most common microprocessors used in controls or instrumentation applications using assembly code. Text has been updated to include easier-to-read computer programs and more hardware interfacing. Instruction Set in the Appendix has been expanded. Preliminary and hardware chapters from Ayala's 8086 text (1995) have been added so the 8051 text can now be used in a first microprocessor course as well as advanced. ALSO AVAILABLE INSTRUCTOR SUPPLEMENTS Solutions Manual, ISBN: 0-314-20985-9 Transparency Masters, ISBN: 0-314-20986-7 Designed as a main or supplementary text for courses on microprocessors or microcontrollers.

An extensive knowledge of electronics is not required to program the microcontroller. A microcontroller is a true computer on a chip, incorporating all the features found in a microprocessor CPU. A microcontroller is a general-purpose device, but one which is meant to fetch data, perform limited calculations on that data, and control its environment based on those calculations. The prime use of a microcontroller is to control the operation of a machine using a fixed program that is stored in ROM and that does not change over the lifetime of the system
