Description: UNDERSTANDING MICROPROCESSORS IS SIMPLE.

MICROPROCESSORS is a complete and detailed introduction to microprocessors and microcomputer systems. It presents both the concepts, and the actual techniques and components used to create systems. It introduces the reader to the aspects of system operation, use, and design. The text represents the seventh version of course notes developed by the author over a period of several years and used worldwide in microprocessor education and training.

Some of the topics presented are: a comparative evaluation of all major microprocessors (Ch. 4), a journey inside a microprocessor chip (Ch. 2), how to assemble a system (Ch. 5), applications (Ch. 6), interfacing, including the new S100 bus (Ch. 7), programming and system development (Ch. 8 & 9).

No prior electronic or computer training are necessary.
