Om hvordan mikroprocessorer fungerer, med undersøgelse af de nyeste mikroprocessorer fra Intel, IBM og Motorola.

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.

A new edition of the only book on the market that may be taught using either a general or a chip-specific approach. Updated to include 16-bit micros, magnetic disk memories, advanced direct memory access capabilities, and also a new chapter on interval timers and counters, including programmable timer-counter chips. The three sections of the book cover the hardware aspects of the microprocessor chip and its support chips, the systems hardware involving interfacing memory and input-output chips with the microprocessor, and the software. Topics covered include data flow in the microcomputer, macro- and micro-instructions, I/O transfers, flowcharting, assemblers, operating systems, and much more. The Z80, 8080A, and 8085 families are covered.

Microprocessors and Microcomputer-Based System Design, Second Edition, builds on the concepts of the first edition. It discusses the basics of microprocessors, various 32-bit microprocessors, the 8085 microprocessor, the fundamentals of peripheral interfacing, and Intel and Motorola microprocessors. This edition includes new topics such as floating-point arithmetic, Program Array Logic, and flash memories. It covers the popular Intel 80486/80960 and Motorola 68040 as well as the Pentium and PowerPC microprocessors. The final chapter presents system design concepts, applying the design principles covered in previous chapters to sample problems.
