80251 Microcontroller, The [Hardcover]

Kenneth J. Ayala (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 15, 1999

This book explores the 80251 microcontroller—an update of the industry standard 8051 featuring new components that enhance its programming in C. Despite the attractiveness of the C programming language, the author emphasizes assembly code programming as a foundational skill for embedded controller programmers and system designers. Coverage opens with a tutorial on fundamental computer operation and programming, waiting until late in the text to examine C programming concepts and examples. A wealth of applications are presented throughout, some involving I/O ports and timers; four exploring pulse generation and measurement; two A/D, D/A applications; three serial data applications; and two low-power applications. For engineering/engineering technology programmers and system designers.

This review is from: 80251 Microcontroller, The (Hardcover)

A friend of mine lent this great book. I have plenty of experience with the 8051 and needed to learn about the 80251. Great tips and examples enabled a smooth transition from one processor to the other. It's very clearly written. I would recommend it to anyone. It could have some good examples in "C" though.
