This book is designed for courses on Microprocessors and Microcontrollers. It begins with the 8085 processor, one of the simplest, and progresses through more advanced processors like the 8086, 8088, Intel 286, 386, 486, and Pentium. For microcontrollers, the journey starts with the 8051 and advances to include PIC, AVR, TI, and ARM. The text is concise and reader-friendly, featuring examples related to processors and major interfacing. It provides comprehensive coverage suitable for a single-semester course, complete with rich pedagogy and problem sets. Salient Features: The 8085 microprocessor is introduced first, laying a foundational understanding for more advanced processors. The 8086 microprocessor is discussed with a focus on its internal architecture, instruction set and interrupt structure. The 8051 microcontroller is explored in detail, covering its architecture, programming, and interfacing. External communication interfaces like RS-232, SPI, I2C, IEEE-488, Current Loop and wireless have been elaborated. Advanced topics include the 80286, 386, 486, Pentium processors, RISC/CISC CPUs, cache memory, and microcontrollers like PIC and ARM.
