Microprocessors: The 8086/8088, 80186/ 80286, 80386/80486 and the Pentium Family

This comprehensive text provides a thorough understanding of the principles and applications of microprocessors. It explains the architectures, assembly language programming, interfacing, and applications of Intel’s 8086/8088 microprocessors, 8087 math coprocessor, and 8255, 8253, 8251, 8259, 8279 and 8237 peripherals. Besides, the book also covers Intel’s 80186/80286, 80386/80486, and the Pentium family microprocessors.

The book throughout maintains an appropriate balance between the basic concepts and the skill sets needed for system design. A large number of solved examples on assembly language programming and interfacing are provided to help the students gain mastery of the topics discussed.

The book is eminently suitable for undergraduate engineering students of Electronics, Electronics and Communication, Electronics and Instrumentation, Computer Science and Engineering, and Information Technology.
