Microprocessor Systems Design: 68000 Family Hardware, Software and Interfacing Alan Clements
This text covers the design of systems that use a microprocessor including both hardware and software considerations. The particular type of microprocessor discussed is Motorola's 68000 family, including the most recent generation of 68000 chips. Clements' emphasis is practical, providing the necessary detail to enable students to design actual, working systems. A chapter on the C programming language and its relationship to assembly language should appeal especially to instructors whose courses emphasize software aspects of systems design. A bound-in disk contains simulation software that enables students to run 68000 assembly-language code on IBM-PCs and compatibles.
