Advanced 8-bit Microprocessor: MC6809: Its Software, Hardware, Architecture and Interfacing Techniques

Microprocessors, besides being the heart of computers, also have a wide range of applications in devices such as portable telephones, CDs, VCRs, automobiles, as well as in controlling processes, traffic lights and instrumentation systems. Designed for students, engineers and electronic/computer technicians, this book provides the guide to understanding the software and hardware aspects of microprocessors, and the design and testing aspects of microprocessor based systems. The focus is on the theory and applications of the 8-bit microprocessor where the Motorola MC6809 is used as a model example of such 8-bit microprocessor based systems. All the chapters contain numerous illustrative worked examples to assist with the understanding of the material presented, and a wide range of problems with their worked solutions are also included for students to undertake. The knowledge gained from this book will enable students to design, construct, test and evaluate their own MC6809 microprocessor systems for any desired specifications.
