The third edition of this popular text continues integrating basic concepts, theory, design and real-life applications related to the subject technology, to enable holistic understanding of the concepts. The chapters are introduced in tune with the conceptual flow of the subject; with in-depth discussion of concepts using excellent interfacing and programming examples in assembly language eatures:

This text is intended for microprocessor courses at the undergraduate level in technology, engineering, and computer science. Now in its third edition, it provides a comprehensive treatment of the microprocessor, covering both hardware and software based on the Z80 microprocessor family.

 Motorola has elected to provide a microprocessor family of parts headed by the MC6800 Microprocessing Unit (MPU). The MC6800 MPU is an eight-bit parallel microprocessor with addressing capability of up to 65,536 words. It is TTL compatible requiring only a single five-volt supply and no external TTL devices for bus interface in small systems.
 

A self-contained introduction to microprocessor theory and applications
 This book presents the fundamental concepts of assembly language programming and system design associated with typical microprocessors, such as the Motorola MC68000/68020 and Intel? Pentium?. It begins with an overview of microprocessors--including anexplanation of terms, the evolution of the microprocessor, and typical applications--and goes on to systematically cover:
