Short, concise, and easily-accessible, this book uses the 8085A microprocessor and 8051 microcontroller to explain the fundamentals of microprocessor architecture, programming, and hardware. It features only practical, workable designs so that readers can develop a complete understanding of the application with no frustrating gaps in the explanations. An abundance of real-life hardware, software, and schematic interpretation problems prepare readers to troubleshoot and trace signals through situations they will likely encounter on the job.

Primarily intended for diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate students of electronics, electrical, mechanical, information technology and computer engineering, this book offers an introduction to microprocessors and microcontrollers. The book is designed to explain basic concepts underlying programmable devices and their interfacing. It provides complete knowledge of the Intel’s 8085 and 8086 microprocessors and 8051 microcontroller, their architecture, programming and concepts of interfacing of memory, IO devices and programmable chips. The text has been organized in such a manner that a student can understand and get well-acquainted with the subject, independent of other reference books and Internet sources. It is of greater use even for the AMIE and IETE students—those who do not have the facility of classroom teaching and laboratory practice. The book presents an integrated treatment of the hardware and software aspects of the 8085 and 8086 microprocessors and 8051 microcontroller. Elaborated programming, solved examples on typical interfacing problems, and a useful set of exercise problems in each chapter serve as distinguishing features of the book.

For one-semester consolidated courses in Digital and Microprocessor Fundamentals, or one-semester courses in Digital Fundamentals followed by one-semester courses in Microprocessor Fundamentals. Focusing on the "must know" essentials, this text provides single-volume coverage of the fundamentals of both digital electronics and microprocessors helping students become proficient at both hardware and software principles. It uses a simple, easy-to-understand writing style, an abundance of clearly explained examples, and nearly 1,000 illustrations to explore practical applications and problems using industry-standard ICs, circuits, and schematics that students will encounter on the job.

Presents the latest developments in the field of microprocessors and microcontrollers. The book deals with microprocessor 8085, 8086 and microcontroller 8051. The architecture and programming of these programmable logic devices are described. Assembly level language programming of these devices is developed and explained in detail.

A textbook for a wide range of introductory courses in FE and HE. Provides an introduction to microprocessors, assuming no previous knowledge or a technical or mathematical background. All technical terms are carefully introduced and difficult subjects are clearly explained.
