C and the 8051, Vol.I: Hardware, Modular Programming & Multitasking (2nd Edition)
Today, everything from cell phones to microwaves to CD players all contain microcontrollers, or miniature computers, which need to be programmed to perform specific tasks. Designing such systems requires an understanding of both microprocessor electronics and programming languages. This book is written for the industrial electronics engineer who needs to use or switch to the Intel 8051 family of microcontrollers and implement it using a C programming language. .
Why Read This Book
You will get a hands-on, hardware-focused introduction to programming the Intel 8051 family in C, including how to structure modular firmware and implement multitasking on constrained 8-bit devices. The book’s strength is its focus on real-world interfacing, special function registers, and techniques for squeezing concurrency and structure out of limited resources — useful if you need to understand or maintain legacy 8051 systems or learn low-level embedded C practices.
Who Will Benefit
Best suited for embedded engineers, technicians, students, and hobbyists working with or maintaining 8051-based systems who want practical C-based techniques for hardware interfacing, modular firmware design, and simple multitasking on 8-bit microcontrollers.
