Microprocessor Architecture, Programming, and Applications with the 8085 (4th Edition)

A textbook for an introductory undergraduate course in technology and engineering contexts. Assumes a previous course in digital logic, but no background in programming. Uses the eight-bit microprocessor chip because it is still widely used in embedded systems for industry and consumer appliances, though it has been superseded by the 32-bit chip in computers themselves, and is simple enough to demonstrate all the necessary concepts, which can then be applied to more powerful chips. Covers both the hardware and software applications of the programmable logic device. No bibliography. The 1984 edition was published by Merrill and the 1989 by Macmillan; Prentice-Hall took the helm for the 1996 edition. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
