The 8051 Microcontroller (4th Edition)

Description:

Dive into the heart of embedded systems with the most widely used introductory text on the subject. The 8051 Microcontroller provides a clear, “hands-on” approach to understanding the architecture, programming, and interfacing of this classic 8-bit chip. It is an essential resource for students learning how software interacts directly with hardware.

Why This Textbook is a Classroom Essential:

• Architecture Focused: Offers a deep dive into the 8051 internal hardware, including registers, memory organization, and I/O ports.

• Assembly & C Programming: Covers both Assembly language (for hardware control) and C (for efficient programming), making it “easy” to bridge the gap between low-level and high-level coding.

• Interfacing Techniques: Provides practical examples of how to interface the 8051 with LEDs, LCDs, keyboards, and ADCs.

• Real-World Examples: Features numerous “how-to” code snippets and circuit diagrams that are perfect for lab projects and practical assignments.

Key Topics Covered:

• 8051 Microcontroller Hardware and Instruction Set.

• Timer/Counter and Serial Port operations.

• Interrupts and Interrupt handling.

• Interfacing to external memory and peripheral devices.

• Design and development of embedded software.
