OVERVIEW This book follows a generalised approach by discussing the essential concepts and features common to different kinds of microprocessors, and is not oriented towards any particular microprocessor. These features are then illustrated through popular 8-bt microprocessors thus providing an integrated and comprehensive understanding of various microprocessors. The other notable features of the book are :The principles of operation of different techniques have been discussed in detail before presenting their applications;Interfacing aspects of memory and I/O devices emphasised. Interfacing of I/O devices for process control and instrumentation thoroughly discussed; Development aids and troubleshooting techniques highlighted;Memory mapping and management explained;Broad overview of the entire spectrum of microprocessor-based system design and development by covering hardware, software and system integration aspects in a balanced manner; Several real-life application examples with complete documentation of hardware and software implementation; Those examples are based on prototypes fabricated in the laboratory;Chapteron Advanced Microprocessors.
