Exploring C for Microcontrollers

Plenty of available books on embedded systems are designed for the most popular MCS51 family. These traditional books review the routine architectural features of 8051, description of registers, ports, interrupts etc.

This book skips all such routine things. Here the focus is on programming microcontrollers, specifically MCS-51 family in ?C? using Keil IDE. The book presents seventeen live case studies apart from the many basic programs organized around every on-chip resource: port, time/counter, interrupt , serial I/O and so on.

Rather than introducing the underpinning theory or reproducing lengthy data sheets, this ""learning-through-doing"" approach appeals to busy electronics designers. The ?C? codes given are well supported by easy-to-understand comments wherever required. Mastering the basic modules and hands-on work with the projects enables readers to grasp the basic building blocks for most 8051 programs. Whether you are a student using the MCS-51 family of microcontrollers for your project work or an embedded systems programmer, this book will give you a kick-start in using and understanding the most popular microcontroller.

This book bridges the gap between microcontroller hardware experts and C programmers.

Postgraduate students of electrical, electronics and instrumentation engineering as well as industry professionals active in the field of microcontrollers, members of the community interested in C programming
