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.







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.













Microcomputers in Libraries


Book Description

Covers the Fundamentals of Micros & Their Hardware & Software. Provides Information for Selection & Evaluation, as Well as an Overview of Applications in a Variety of Libraries. Includes a Hardware Comparison Chart & a Glossary of Terms




Making the Right Connections


Book Description

The authors believe that the effectiveness of future generations of scientists depends in part on their ability to use intelligently, diagnose, and modify their microcomputer-based and electronic instrumentation. Using a "top-down" approach, the authors present electronic concepts, principles, and technology that are impacting our daily lives. They start at the top, by providing a broad perspective of electronic instrumentation, and work down to functional modules, devices, and detailed operations. This top-down approach enables all of the pieces to fit together so that a working knowledge is developed as one proceeds through the chapters. Written specifically for chemists, physicists, engineers, biologists, medical researchers, students, and other technical personnel who can benefit from "making the right connections" to modern instrumentation, this book will empower you to gain better control and make better use of your microcomputers and laboratory instruments.




Microcomputer Programming Languages


Book Description

Covers the major strengths, weaknesses, and applications of the most popular programming languages and operating systems and directs readers to the various software packages/books available. Provides a general introduction to languages in general, starting with machine code, then briefly but thoroughly covering the field from compilers to arrays and files. Discusses the individual purposes of each language and the uses of interpreters and assemblers. Covers BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal, Ada, APL, C, Forth, Lisp, Logo, Modula-2, PILOT, PL/1, and Prolog, as well as statistical analysis languages such as SPSS and SAS. An extensive bibliography follows each language chapter, outlining books that provide a more in-depth study of that language. The special Reference Section directs readers to the right software package for their particular computer or operating system.
