For a first course in Microcontrollers or Microprocessors, or for courses in Process Control, Robotics, or Laboratory Measurement, in undergraduate engineering or technology programs (associate and bachelors level). This all-in-one reference offers comprehensive, in-depth coverage of the M68HC11 to students who will be designing real systems using this popular microcontroller. Focusing on the M68HC11 as a laboratory measurement and process control platform, it provides all the design and development tools needed to create a microcontroller-based "product" that can solve common application problems; no outside data or references are needed.

Motorola's 68HC11 microcontrollers are used in appliances ranging from the car to the microwave. This text contains experiments and 12 complete projects that demonstrate various applications of the 68HC11. The CD-ROM contains all the necessary software to begin developing customized applications.

Microcontroller Programming: An Introduction is a comprehensive one-stop resource that covers the concepts, principles, solution development, and associated techniques involved in microcontroller-based systems. Focusing on the elements and features of the popular and powerful Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller IC as a representative example, this book

The book focuses on 8051 microcontrollers and prepares the students for system development using the 8051 as well as 68HC11, 80x96 and lately popular ARM family microcontrollers. A key feature is the clear explanation of the use of RTOS, software building blocks, interrupt handling mechanism, timers, IDE and interfacing circuits. Apart from the general architecture of the microcontrollers, it also covers programming, interfacing and system design aspects.

Technician's Guide to the 68HC11 Microcontroller is ideal for readers with little or no prior programming experience who want to master the basics of troubleshooting and programming Motorola's 68HC11 microcontroller. Both hardware and software are covered in detail to provide a complete understanding of the principles underlying how a microcontroller works. Theory is supplemented by examples designed to illustrate how concepts may be applied. By learning how to program the 68HC11 at an elementary level, readers also gain valuable experience using manufacturer-specific documentation that prepares them for work with other more sophisticated microcontrollers.

This updated edition continues to provide readers with the background needed to understand and use microcontrollers, specifically the popular Motorola 68HC11. The 68HC11 is relatively easy to work with and has most of the features essential for a complete control system. The book starts at an introductory level by explaining the applications and origins of microcontrollers. Next, a programmer's view of the device is developed. Finally, the hardware is described and the reader learns how to connect it to the outside world for control applications. Many changes have been made to this edition: To acknowledge the prominence of C programming, the topic is introduced earlier and the text uses C program examples throughout. A CD-ROM containing source code, a special demo version of the THRSim11 simulator, a IC11 demo C compiler, a cross assembler, fuzzy logic tools, and assorted electronic design tools is included. Because it provides a practical way to explore programming and interfacing concepts, readers will find the simulator extremely useful. Chapter openers now list learning objectives to help the reader pick out the important points in each chapter. Numerous helpful appendices have been added to reinforce key topics. This book is an excellent guide and reference, and it will prove indispensable to students of control automation and interested amateurs, as well as to experienced users of microcontrollers. An Instructor's Manual (ISBN 0-13-033248-8) is available free of charge to instructors using the book for a course.
