A very good book. S/W rather than H/W bias.

Published by West Publishing Company. St Paul, MN. ISBN 0-314-77278-2 Dewey 004.165-dc20 241 Pages. Soft cover. Includes 5.25in diskette with assembler and simulator. Chapters ======== 1 - Microprocessors and Microcontrollers. 2 - The 8051 Architecture. 3 - Moving Data. 4 - Logical Operations. 5 - Arithmetic Operations. 6 - Jump and Call Opcodes. 7 - An 8051 Microcontroller Design. 8 - Applications. 9 - Serial Data Communication. Appendices ========== A - 8051 Operational Code Mnemonics. B - How to Use the Assembler. C - how to Use the Simulator. D - The 8255 Programmable I/O Port. E - Control Registers. A recommended book for those who have previous assembly language experience and wish to get to know details relating to the 8051 microcontroller. While the internal architecture of the chip is covered in detail, external hardware and peripheral interfacing is not. Only the basic 8051/31 is covered, with little mention of the other variants available. There are extensive listings in the text, covering routines for handling keyboards and displays, as well as timing loops and communications. A large, clear typeface ensures that all of the listings are completely legible. The layout and presentation of the book is excellent, with a consistent, unambiguous style used throughout.
