Book Description This book is designed for a first course in microprocessors or it may be used as a reference for practicing engineers The book is unique in presenting a balanced, integrated topic coverage of assembly language programming, microcontroller programming via the C language, and hardware interfacing Programming topics are discussed озфба using both assembly language and C, while hardware interfacing examples use C to keep code complexity low and improve clarity A goal of this book is to prepare students for advanced courses in embedded systems or computer architecture As such, the topic coverage is wide, with a mixture of software and hardware topics The assembly language programming topics emphasize the linkage between C language constructs and their assembly language equivalents, so that students clearly understand the impact of C coding choices in terms of execution time and memory requirements Hardware interface topics included in the textbook cover the fundamentals (parallel, serial, interrupts, A/D, D/A) using devices that do not require an extensive circuits background Laboratory Projects These provide an extensive ?off-the-shelf lab? experience )13 experiments) for using the PIC18: one experiment on introductory computer architecture topics, four experiments on PIC18 assembly language, and eight hardware experiments The hardware experiments require the read to breadboard a PIC18F242 system that includes a serial EEPROM, external 8-bit Digital-to-Analog converter, and RS232 interface, and an infrared receiver module The hardware labs cover all major subsystems on the PIC18: A/D, timers, asynchronous serial interface, and the 12C interface All hardware labs are programmed in C.  Constan2005 г 652 стр ISBN 1584503785.
