Embedded systems are altering the landscape of electronics manufacturing worldwide, giving many consumer products sophisticated capabilities we couldn't have dreamed of even a few years ago. The explosive proliferation of built-in computers and the variety of design methods developed in both industry and academia necessitates the sort of pragmatic guidance offered in Embedded Systems Design with 8051 Microcontrollers. This enormously practical reference/text explains the developments in microcontroller technology and provides lucid instructions on its many and varied applications — focusing on the popular 8-bit microcontroller, the 8051, and the 83C552.

This book, from authors Zdravko Karakehayov, Knud Smed Christensen and Ole Winther, outlines a systematic methodology for design of small-scale, control-dominated embedded systems, and includes end-of-chapter problems that reinforce essential concepts and end-of-chapter references with URLs.

Profusely illustrated with over 250 drawings and diagrams, this state-of-the-art resource is a must-read reference for electrical, electronics, computer, industrial, and mechanical engineers, computer scientists, and physicists, as well as a superb text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

Topics Covered

• Reviews basic concepts, from logic gates to Internet appliances.
• Considers 8051 and 83C552 microcontrollers as parallel running processors and embedded peripherals.
• Introduces a coherent taxonomy and symbols for microcontroller flags.
• Provides a succession of assembly language examples such as electromechanical and digital clocks.
• Examines digital interfacing at two hierarchical levels: interface to typical system components and interaction with the outside world.
• Covers applications of analog interfacing, from elementary forms to advanced designs for speech machines.
• Discusses serial interfaces suitable for distributed embedded systems.
• Demonstrates the transition from classical design approaches to the hardware–software codesign with case studies of a simplified EPROM programmer and an EPROM emulator.
• Contains a 3.5” floppy disk of all the example problems included in the book.
