Microprocessors and Microcomputers: Second Edition

This book is an introduction to the design and implementation of 32/16-bit microprocessor systems with emphesis on microcomputers design. The book covers assembly language design and microcomputer hardware design using Motorola MC68000 microprocessor. The 68000 is used in many applications as a central processing unit for a number of personal computers, commercial video games, and digital controllers. On the educational side, the 68000 processor is used by many universities around the world due to the fact that it is an excellent teaching tool that brings the subject of Microprocessors to students with sense of ease and enjoyment. Nevertheless, the 68000-assembly code is applicable to a large number of processors and peripherals. The emphasis in this book is practical, providing the necessary details to enable students and practicing engineers to design actual, self-standing microcomputer systems with a wide spectrum of applications. This book treats both software and hardware designs equally with detailed examples that generate proven results. In addition, one of the main goals of the author is to provide an excellent textbook with reasonable price. Eliminating unnecessary spaces and lines, using larger trim size, and smaller fonts are all steps taken to reduce the price of the book and make it affordable to all readers around the world. In addition, we saved hundreds of pages of unnecessary data sheets for the microprocessor and many peripherals and gates used in the book. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:M.H.
