From the Publisher
The ultimate microprocessor guidebook w/ experiments
Dating from the introduction of microprocessor theory, a great
gap has existed between its principles of operation and those
attributed to the more universally accepted ideas revealed in
digital electronics theory. In Introduction to Microprocessor
Theory & Operation, authors J.A. Sam Wilson and Joseph Risse set out
to eliminate the myths and inform the reader on the circuits,
specifications, and general ins-and-outs of microprocessor systems.
Never has there been a more complete volume on this intriguing subject.
Introduction to Microprocessor Theory & Operation is fully illustrated
and includes 15 easy-to-build, inexpensive experiments that illustrate
the various individual sections in a microprocessor. The graphics, text,
and experiments are intended for use by a wide variety of electronics
practitioners, making for a book that is invaluable to the beginner just
breaking into the field of microprocessors, while still providing experienced
technicians with a reference and refresher tool.
