Discusses microprocessors, specially the M6800, and their applications.

Introduces Microprocessors & Single-Chip Microcomputers Through the Motorola 6800 Family. Discusses Internal Structure, Instruction Set, Programming Techniques, Hardware & Interfacing

The invention of the microcomputer in the mid-1970s and its subsequent low-cost proliferation has opened up a new world for the laboratory scientist. Tedious data collection can now be automated relatively cheaply and with an enormous increase in reliability. New techniques of measurement are accessible with the "intelligent" instrumentation made possible by these programmable devices, and the ease of use of even standard measurement techniques may be improved by the data processing capabilities of the humblest micro. The latest items of commercial laboratory instrumentation are invariably "computer controlled", although this is more likely to mean that a microprocessor is involved than that a versatile microcomputer is provided along with the instrument. It is clear that all scientists of the future will need some knowledge of computers, if only to aid them in mastering the button pushing associated with gleaming new instruments. However, to be able to exploit this newly accessible computing power to the full the practising laboratory scientist must gain sufficient understanding to utilise the communication channels between apparatus on the laboratory bench and program within the computer. This book attempts to provide an introduction to those communication channels in a manner which is understandable for scientists who do not specialise in electronics or computers.

In the recent years there has been rapid advances in the field of Digital Electronics and Microprocessor.This book is intended to help students to keep pace with these latest developments.The Present book is revised version of earlier book'Introduction to Digital Computers'by the same author.Now this book is written in a lucid and simple language,which gives clear explanation of basics of Digital Electronics,Computers and icroprocessors.
