Introduction to Microcontrollers : Architecture, Programming, and Interfacing for the Freescale 68HC12

Introduction to Microcontrollers is a comprehensive, introductory text/reference for electrical and computer engineers and students with little experience with a high-level programming language. It systematically teaches the programming of a microcontroller in assembly language, as well as C and C++. This books also covers the principles of good programming practice through top-down design and the use of data structures. It is suitable as an introductory text for a first course on microcomputers that demonstrates what a small computer can do.Shows how a computer executes instructions;Shows how a high-level programming language converts to assembler language;Shows how a microcontroller is interfaced to the outside world;Hundreds of examples, experiments, "e;brain-teasers"e; and motivators;More than 20 exercises at the end of each chapter
