Microprocessor Support Chips Sourcebook

This book examines the components required to turn a microprocessor into a microcomputer. There is also extensive coverage of the engineering details of microprocessor systems and of basic microprocessor support chips. The components covered include mainstream devices (memory chips), specialist devices (FIFO memory controllers), logic elements (bus drivers, address decoders), devices that cross the digital/analog boundary (watchdog monitors and switched power-supply controllers).
