Product Description
Using the currently popular, powerful, yet easy to understand Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller as a representative example, this text provides a comprehensive introduction to the concepts, principles, and techniques of microprocessors and microprocessor-based systems. This edition focuses on the elements and features of the 68HC11 microcontroller IC one of the most powerful and flexible 8-bit microprocessors in general use today as a representative device for teaching/learning microprocessor principles and concepts. This edition features added, expanded or updated coverage of: negation and overflow; IEEE/ ANSI logic symbol standards; databus concepts and operations; memory types, including flash memory, and DRAM operation and refreshing; microprogramming, microcontrollers, and assemblers; reset operation, on-chip memory and I/O ports, and 4K pages; two-operand ALU operations; MPU reset operation, including Computer Operating Properly (COP) Reset and Clock Monitor Reset; multiplication and division instructions; on-chip timer system; programmed time intervals; on-chip A/D converter system; and wide range of on-chip control registers.

This is an excellent book. It provides a comprehensive overview of microcomputer architecture. I recommend it to anyone who wants an introduction to the microcontroller field. Enjoyed reading it. Very informative. Learned a lot.

Microprocessors and Microcomputers by Ronld Tocci provides an good introduction to the microprocessor world. It does a very good job at explaing what the different components of a microprocessor based system does and how they fit together. This book is not for someone who is resonably knowledgable about the subject (i.e. you have already built and programed a simple microcontroller or microprocessor based system). The more experienced need to find a title targeting their specific processor of choice.

5 out of 5 found this review helpful

We used this as a textbook at the Univ. of Mich. Overall this is a good introduction to microcontrollers/processors. Authors kept discussion at the 'logic gates' level with an introduction to the Motorolla HC11 programming. Pace is gentle and just enough detailed for introduction to the subject.
