Microcomputer Interfacing and Applications

This is the applications guide to interfacing microcomputers. It offers practical non-mathematical solutions to interfacing problems in many applications including data acquisition and control. Emphasis is given to the definition of the objectives of the interface, then comparing possible solutions and producing the best interface for every situation. Dr Mustafa A Mustafa is a senior designer of control equipment and has written many technical articles and papers on the subject of computers and their application to control engineering.

Microprocessors/microcomputers

A new edition of the only book on the market that may be taught using either a general or a chip-specific approach. Updated to include 16-bit micros, magnetic disk memories, advanced direct memory access capabilities, and also a new chapter on interval timers and counters, including programmable timer-counter chips. The three sections of the book cover the hardware aspects of the microprocessor chip and its support chips, the systems hardware involving interfacing memory and input-output chips with the microprocessor, and the software. Topics covered include data flow in the microcomputer, macro- and micro-instructions, I/O transfers, flowcharting, assemblers, operating systems, and much more. The Z80, 8080A, and 8085 families are covered.
