Introduction to Microprocessor Theory and Operation

Dating from the introduction of microprocessor theory, a great gap has existing between its principles of operation and those attributed to the more universally accepted ideas revealed in digital electronics theory. In this introduction to microprocessor theory and operation, the authors set out to eliminate the myths and inform the reader on the circuits, specifications, and general ins-and-outs of microprocessor systems. The book is illustrated and contains 15 easy-to-build, inexpensive experiments that demonstrate the various individual sections in a microprocessor. The graphics, text and experiments are intended for use by a wide variety of electronics practitioners, as well as for beginners just breaking into the field.
