Microprocessors for Engineers Interfacing for Real Time Applications - Ellis Horwood Series in Electrical & Electronic Engineering.

Microprocessors instead of analogue circuits as a controller in engineering still tend to be surrounded by a certain mystique due to the emphasis on the software aspects of particular systems in most microcomputing books. This work, based on the author's experience of developing applications-oriented microprocessor courses for engineers, is an account of the hardware configuration, programming concepts, and the interfacing of microcomputers for real-time measurement and control applications.;The book has been structured to encompass the essential aspects of microcomputer components, input-output data transfer concepts, interfacing circuit design, and the writing of control algorithms from a engineering viewpoint. Numerous scientific applications are described, covering data conversion techniques, timing and sequencing, three term controller, stepper motor control, and open and closed-loop speed control of a dc motor.
