Microprocessor Interfacing Techniques

Microprocessors and Interfacing Techniques

The book is written as per the syllabus of the subject Microprocessors and Interfacing Techniques for S. E. (Computer Engineering), Semester-II of University of Pune. It focuses on the three main parts in the study of microprocessors – the architecture, the programming and the system design. The 8086 microprocessor is described in detail along with glimpses of 8088, 80186 and 80188 microprocessors. The various peripheral controllers for 8086/88 are also discussed. Other topics that are related to the syllabus but not explicitly mentioned are included in the appendices. Key Features — Programs are given and the related theory is discussed within the same section, thereby maintaining a smooth flow and also eliminating the need for a separate section on the practical experiments for the subject of Microprocessors and Interfacing Laboratory — Both DOS-based programs as well as kit programs are given — Algorithms and flowcharts are given before DOS-based programs for easy understanding of the program logic

Microprocessor Interfacing

Microprocessor Interfacing provides the coverage of the Business and Technician Education Council level NIII unit in Microprocessor Interfacing (syllabus U86/335). Composed of seven chapters, the book explains the foundation in microprocessor interfacing techniques in hardware and software that can be used for problem identification and solving. The book focuses on the 6502, Z80, and 6800/02 microprocessor families. The technique starts with signal conditioning, filtering, and cleaning before the signal can be processed. The signal conversion, from analog to digital or vice versa, is explained to answer why conversion is necessary for the microcomputer or processor. The types of analogue to digital converter, voltage measurements, scaling, and interfacing with ADC to a microcomputer are all taken into account. After the signal has been converted into readable data, the date transfer techniques are described. For data between systems and subsystems to be efficient, the timing, electrical, I/O lines, serial data, and bus structure should be considered. A more detailed explanation of parallel I/O controllers as applied to Z80 PIO and the 6821 PIA follows. For serial I/O controllers, the serial data transfers, speed in baud rate, software routines, and ASCII codes are all examined. Finally, the dedicated I/O controllers involving keyboard encoding, the ASCII (QWERTY) keyboard interface, the visual display unit, cathode ray tube controller devices, and the drive controllers are discussed, as each of these requires one specific application. This book is useful for computer engineers, software engineers, computer technicians, teachers, and instructors in the field of computing learning. This text can also be an informative reading for those have great interest in computer hardware.
