The fourth edition of The 8051 Microcontroller updates and expands the coverage of the hardware and software features of the MCS-51 family of microcontrollers.
Key Features:
- The addition of 8051 C programming as an alternative to assembly language.
- An expanded chapter 11 on design and interface examples, which adds the interface of liquid crystal displays, serial and parallel interface standards, sensors, relays, and the stepper motor
- A new chapter 12 on design and interface examples, with solutions in the C language versus assembler
- A new chapter 13 with advanced examples of 8051 projects, including design choices
- A new Chapter 14 covering 8051 derivative devices
- New coverage of smart cards and data security
