The market is flooded with numbers of good books on Embedded Systems
designed especially with the most popular MCS51 family. These books are
traditional in nature i.e. they start with the routine architectural
features of 8051, description of registers, ports, interrupts etc. Most
of these things are already covered in the device data sheet and
application notes. In this book all such routine things are skipped. The
focus is on programming microcontrollers, to be specific MCS-51 family
in C using Keil IDE. The book presents seventeen live case studies apart
from the many basic programs organized around every on-chip resource
like port, time/counter, interrupt , serial I/O etc. Rather than
introducing the underpinning theory or reproducing lengthy data sheets,
our approach is “learning-through-doing” and one that appeals to busy
electronics designers. The C codes given are well supported by easy to
understand comments wherever required. Mastering the basic modules and
hands on working with the projects will enable to grasp the basic
building blocks for most 8051 programs. Whether you are a student using
the MCS-51 family of microcontrollers for your project work or an
embedded systems programmer, this is a book that will give you a
kick-start in using and understanding the most popular microcontroller.
Authors through their interaction with the undergraduate, postgraduate
students as well as industry professionals have found that such a book
is a need of the microcontroller community interested in C programming.
The book will bridge the gap between the microcontroller hardware
experts and the C programmers.
