[PDF] Introduction to Microcontrollers: Architecture, Programming, and Interfacing for the Motorola 68HC12 (Academic Press Series in Engineering) G. Jack Lipovski

Introduction to Microcontrollers is a comprehensive introductory text/reference for electrical and computer engineers, students, and even hobbyists who have little experience in a high-level programming language. The book helps them understand how a typical microcontroller executes assembly language instructions and addressing modes on microprocessors. The book shows how to program with C++ and compile assembly language statements. The book utilizes the new 16-bit microcontroller, the Motorola 68Hc12, as the primary example. This “chip” replaces the very popular 8-bit microcontroller, the 68Hc11, as the leading microprocessor for a wide variety of applications and as a core tool for teaching engineering students. This new microcontroller is expected to be popular in industry because of its low cost per unit, low power consumption, and high processing speed. * First introductory level book on the Motorola 68HC12* Teaches engineers how a computer executes instructions* Shows how a high-level programming language converts to assembly language* Teaches the reader how a microcontroller is interfaced to the outside world* Uses hundreds of examples throughout the text* Over 200 homework problems give the reader in-depth practice* A CD-ROM with HiWare’s professional C++ compiler is included with the book* A complete summary chapter on other available microcontrollers
