Microprocessor Data Book


Book Description

Microprocessor Data Book, Second Edition focuses on the available types of microprocessors and microcomputers, including description of internal architecture, instruction set, main electrical data, and package details of these instruments. The book first elaborates on 4-bit and 8-bit microprocessors and microcomputers. Discussions focus on Advanced Micro Devices Am2900 series, Hitachi HMCS40 series, Motorola MC6801 and MC6803, Motorola MC6809 series, Rockwell R6500/1 series, and RCA 1800 series. The text then examines 16-bit and 32-bit microprocessors and microcomputers. Topics include Intel 80286 microprocessor, Motorola 68010, Texas Instruments TMS9980, Zilog Z8000 series, Motorola 68020 processor, and National 32032. The manuscript takes a look at other support devices, peripheral device controllers, and serial I/O devices, including Motorola MC6850 ACIA, Texas Instruments TMS9902 ACC, Thomson EFCIS EF9365/6, and floppy disk controllers. The publication is a valuable source of information for computer science experts and researchers interested in microprocessors and microcomputers.




Digital Design for Computer Data Acquisition


Book Description

This digital electronics text focuses on "how to" design, build, operate and adapt data acquisition systems. The material begins with basic logic gates and ends with a 40 KHz voltage measurer. The approach aims to cover a minimal number of topics in detail. The data acquisition circuits described communicate with a host computer through parallel I/O ports. The fundamental idea of the book is that parallel I/O ports (available for all popular computers) offer a superior balance of simplicity, low cost, speed, flexibility and adaptability. All circuits and software are thoroughly tested. Construction details and troubleshooting guidelines are included. This book is intended to serve people who teach or study one of the following: digital electronics, circuit design, software that interacts outside hardware, the process of computer based acquisition, and the design, adaptation, construction and testing of measurement systems.




Microcomputers and Microprocessors


Book Description

An introduction to microprocessors, updated to cover recent models. Designed as a first course in microcomputers, this new edition covers the hardware and machine language software of the 8080/8085 and Z-80 8-bit microprocessors. It explores various aspects of microcomputer technology using examples of 8080/8085 and Z-80 applications.




The Z-80 Microcomputer Handbook


Book Description

Microcomputer D.A.T.A. Book


Book Description







Using Microcomputers in Research


Book Description

Using Microcomputers in Research may be used in conjunction with the earlier Microcomputer Methods for Social Scientists (QASS 40) -- together they provide a lucid and comprehensive introduction to microcomputing in the social sciences. This book is organized around the research process, taking the reader through the processes of writing the research proposal, gathering data, analysing and manipulating data, and writing the research report.




How to Build Your Own Working Microcomputer


Book Description

Shows how to assemble a microcomputer from semi-conductor chips and expand this system by adding a cassette recorder, more displays, or increased memory capacity.







Microcontrollers and Microcomputers


Book Description

Microcontrollers and Microcomputers: Principles of Software and Hardware Engineering, Second Edition, is an ideal introductory text for an embedded system or microcontroller course. While most texts discuss only one specific microcontroller, this book offers a unique approach by covering the common ground among all microcontrollers in one volume. Since the text does not focus on a particular processor, it can be used with processor-specific material--such as manufacturer's data sheets and reference manuals--or with texts, including author Fredrick M. Cady's Software and Hardware Engineering: Motorola M68HC11 or Software and Hardware Engineering: Motorola M68HC12. Now fully updated, the second edition covers the fundamental operation of standard microcontroller features, including parallel and serial I/O interfaces, interrupts, analog-to-digital conversion, and timers, focusing on the electrical interfaces as needed. It devotes one chapter to showing how a variety of devices can be used, and emphasizes C program software development, design, and debugging.
