Interfacing Techniques In Digital Design With Emphasis On Microprocessors

The techniques of interfacing microprocessors and digital systems to external devices are described in this book. The text addresses analog subsystems and software development as important considerations in interfacing, and uniquely treats the interface between digital electronic devices at all levels of scale.

The book is written as per the syllabus of the subject Microprocessors and Interfacing Techniques for S. E. (Computer Engineering), Semester-II of University of Pune. It focuses on the three main parts in the study of microprocessors – the architecture, the programming and the system design. The 8086 microprocessor is described in detail along with glimpses of 8088, 80186 and 80188 microprocessors. The various peripheral controllers for 8086/88 are also discussed. Other topics that are related to the syllabus but not explicitly mentioned are included in the appendices. Key Features — Programs are given and the related theory is discussed within the same section, thereby maintaining a smooth flow and also eliminating the need for a separate section on the practical experiments for the subject of Microprocessors and Interfacing Laboratory — Both DOS-based programs as well as kit programs are given — Algorithms and flowcharts are given before DOS-based programs for easy understanding of the program logic

In order to come up with a reasonably optimized result when designing a hardware interface for a microprocessor or a specialized application, a designer must be quite knowledgeable and constantly keep abreast of new developments. Not only must he master traditional methods used for logic systems but he must also be familiar with a wide range of solutions and a technology which never stops progressing. The CMOS and TTL integrated circuit families include the basic bricks used to build an interface, although prefabricated modules of various sizes may improve the performance/price ratio. Programmable networks (PLD, PAL ®, GAL ®, etc.) are becoming more and more diversified and gate arrays can justifiably be used for smaller and smaller series. When signals work on low frequencies, they can be read or activated by an appropriately programmed microcontroller, which may work out cheaper than wired logic. Therefore, engineers must never stop improving their knowledge and questioning the developing techniques which they learnt to master and which have proved reliable. This book does not only deal with digital circuits, although the basic idea is to interconnect functional blocks only through logic connections. The word interface here really refers to an interface between a microproces.

Analog Interfacing to Embedded Microprocessors addresses the technologies and methods used in interfacing analog devices to microprocessors, providing in-depth coverage of practical control applications, op amp examples, and much more. A companion to the author's popular Embedded Microprocessor Systems: Real World Design, this new embedded systems book focuses on measurement and control of analog quantities in embedded systems that are required to interface to the real world. At a time when modern electronic systems are increasingly digital, a comprehensive source on interfacing the real world to microprocessors should prove invaluable to embedded systems engineers, students, technicians, and hobbyists. Anyone involved in connecting the analog environment to their digital machines, or troubleshooting such connections will find this book especially useful. Stuart Ball is also the author of Debugging Embedded Microprocessor Systems, both published by Newnes. Additionally, Stuart has written articles for periodicals such as Circuit Cellar INK, Byte, and Modern Electronics. Provides hard-to-find information on interfacing analog devices and technologies to the purely digital world of embedded microprocessors. Gives the reader the insight and perspective of a real embedded systems design engineer, including tips that only a hands-on professional would know. Covers important considerations for both hardware and software systems when linking analog and digital devices.

Practical Design of Digital Circuits: Basic Logic to Microprocessors demonstrates the practical aspects of digital circuit design. The intention is to give the reader sufficient confidence to embark upon his own design projects utilizing digital integrated circuits as soon as possible. The book is organized into three parts. Part 1 teaches the basic principles of practical design, and introduces the designer to his ""tools"" — or rather, the range of devices that can be called upon. Part 2 shows the designer how to put these together into viable designs. It includes two detailed descriptions of actual design exercises. The first of these is a fairly simple exercise in CMOS design; the second is a much more complex design for an electronic game, using TTL devices. Part 3 focuses on microprocessors. It illustrates how a particular design problem changes emphasis when a microprocessor is introduced. This book is aimed at a fairly broad market: it is intended to aid the linear design engineer to cross the barrier into digital electronics; it should provide interesting supporting reading for students studying digital electronics from the more academic viewpoint; and it should enable the enthusiast to design much more ambitious and sophisticated projects than he could otherwise attempt if restricted to linear devices.
