Programming and Customizing the 8051 Microcontroller
"Programming and Customizing the 8051 Microcontroller" was chosen as the "Electronics Book of the Month Club" Main Selection for March 1999
The 8051 is a remarkable device in terms of the number of manufacturers and the wide range of devices and features available. 8051 compatible microcontrollers are available with anywhere from twenty pin embedded eight bit microcontrollers to multi-chip, high performance sixteen bit systems. The chips can just have straight digital I/O or highly sophisticated serial, bus, network input and output capabilities. The resulting wide range of potential applications can be intimidating to someone looking at the 8051 for the first time.
This Book/CD-ROM package was written to give a clear introduction to the 8051, both from a programming as well as a hardware interfacing point of view. Along with explaining the architecture, I also provide over thirty experiments that will help you to understand exactly how 8051 code and hardware applications are created.
