The 8051 architecture developed by Intel has proved to be the most popular and enduring type of microcontroller, available from many manufacturers and widely used for industrial applications and embedded systems as well as being a versatile and economical option for design prototyping, educational use and other project work.In this book the authors introduce the fundamentals and capabilities of the 8051, then put them to use through practical exercises and project work. The result is a highly practical learning experience that will help a wide range of engineers and students to get through the steepest part of the learning curve and become proficient and productive designing with the 8051. The text is also supported by practical examples, summaries and knowledge-check questions.The latest developments in the 8051 family are also covered in this book, with chapters covering flash memory devices and 16-bit microcontrollers.Dave Calcutt, Fred Cowan and Hassan Parchizadeh are all experienced authors and lecturers at the University of Portsmouth, UK.- Increase design productivity quickly with 8051 family microcontrollers- Unlock the potential of the latest 8051 technology: flash memory devices and16-bit chips- Self-paced learning for electronic designers, technicians and students

This book is a collection of projects based around various microcontrollers from the PIC family.  The reader is carefully guided through the book, from very simple to more complex projects in order to gradually build their knowledge about PIC microcontrollers and digital electronics in general.  On completion of this book, the reader should be able to design and build their own projects and solve other practical problems in digital electronics. Many books in this area are theory based and can tend toward being overly explanatory in their approach to the subject.  Courses are moving towards being more practically oriented and this book provides the ideal companion to students completing projects with PIC microcontrollers.
