The 8051 Microcontroller (4th Edition)

The 8051 Microcontroller (Fourth Edition) By I. Scott MacKenzie and Raphael C.-W. Phan

Well known in this discipline as the most concise yet adequate treatment of the subject matter, this book provides just enough detail in a direct exposition of the 8051 microcontroller's internal hardware components. It presents all the topics required for an introductory course in the 8051, starting at a rudimentary level with the basic question of what a microprocessor even is, and building up through the instruction set, programming methods, and full working design examples. Chapter 8 lays the foundation for C programming the 8051, carefully highlighting the differences between higher-level and assembly language programming, as well as the differences between conventional C for computer systems and C for embedded microcontrollers. Later chapters address larger, more conceptual topics important in professional development environments, and Chapter 11 presents several complete design examples incorporating selected hardware with fully annotated supporting software — the real focus of these examples. This fourth edition adds several additional interfaces, including a liquid crystal display (LCD), the 8255, an RS-232 serial interface, a Centronics parallel interface, sensors, relays, and a stepper motor, with all 8051 C examples compiled, debugged, and tested using Keil's µVision2 IDE.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Introduction to microcontrollers (CPU, memory, buses, I/O devices)

• 8051 hardware summary and instruction set summary

• Timer operation

• Serial port operation

• Interrupt operation

• Assembly language programming

• 8051 C programming

• Program structure and design

• Tools and techniques for program development

• Interfacing design examples (LCD, 8255, RS-232, stepper motors)

Key features:

• Concise, direct exposition of 8051 internal hardware, widely regarded as the field's most efficient introduction

• New interfacing examples added in this edition (LCD, 8255, RS-232, Centronics, sensors, relays, stepper motor)

• All C examples tested and debugged with Keil's µVision2 IDE

• Easy-to-build SBC-51 single-board computer project with chip-by-chip schematic

• Includes manufacturer data sheets and full instruction set definitions

Perfect for:

• Electrical and computer engineering students taking an introductory microcontroller course

• Microprocessor programmers and embedded systems engineers

• Practicing electronics technicians learning microcontrollers for the first time

• Anyone building hands-on 8051-based hardware projects
