PC Magazine February However, years of teaching have convinced me that a fresh look at these concepts would be in order, to understand assembly language programming. That is why an elaborate treatment has been meted out to these concepts in Chapter 0.

It is important to be clear about topics like sign extension, signed arithmetic and BCD arithmetic. Readers would do well to be conversant with the concepts presented in Chapter 0.

The discussion on the elements of computer architecture in this chapter is meant for those who have not studied this topic earlier. Similarly, the chapter also gives an over- view of the processor for the benefit of those who have to learn about as part of their curriculum requirements. A study of the processor is not necessary to understand the x86 family of processors.

Chapter 1 explains the basic architecture of the processor. This chapter, fundamen- tal to understanding the topics covered in the book, is profuse with numerical problems that explain important concepts. Chapters 2 to 5 are devoted, for the most part, to assembly programming. Chapter 2 introduces the MASM assembler. We discuss Version 6.

The steps for using the assembler to run programs are discussed in this chapter. The DOS and debugging commands of Appendix B may also be useful for getting a good grasp of programming skills. These four chapters cover most of the instructions of the processor the use of which has been highlighted in solved examples.

Adequate end-of-chapter questions have been provided to ensure proficiency in programming. Advanced concepts like modular programming and high- level language constructs of MASM have also been described.

Chapters 6 and 7 are devoted to hardware. Chapter 6 talks about the pins of the processor and how these pins are used in the minimum and maximum mode configura- tions. Timing diagrams are introduced here.

Chapter 7 elaborates on the techniques of address decoding and is important for understanding the hardware interfacing chapters that follow. How hardware can be manipu- lated using software interrupts is explained here. Text mode video and TSR program- ming are introduced with practical worked-out examples. These help one to use the knowledge of assembly language to understand the PC. Chapters 9 to 11 deal with the interfacing of the processor to various peripherals.

A number of interfacing chips are introduced here. A detailed study of a few of these chips would stand the student in good stead. For example, understanding the chip would help us to learn about other peripheral chips with ease.

These chapters have been designed to meet the needs of undergraduate students who use these chips for their laboratory work. Chapter 13 is devoted to the basic prin- ciples of multiprocessing and bus arbitration techniques. Chapter 14 is quite long. Repeated reading of this topic will sort out many of the initial difficulties faced by the reader.

The discussion in the chapter then moves on to the advanced features incorporated in the and Pentium processors. Chapter 15 is a unique chapter in that it is devoted to no processor in particular.

Instead, it traces the evolution of techniques used for performance enhancement from the first generation processors to the present time. It can make one appreci- ate the hard work put into the making of high-end microprocessors. Chapter 16 goes one step beyond the contents of Chapter As most of the present-day processors come with multicore components, unravelling the intricacies of such processors is an interesting exercise. To understand this chapter, the contents of the previous two chapters must be studied well.

With this chapter, we conclude our study of microprocessors — from the first x86 processor to the latest one, which uses the Haswell microarchitecture. ACPI is relevant for all systems, but the topic is included in this chapter because power management becomes imperative for embedded systems in particular. Chapters 19, 20 and 21 reveal details about the microcontroller. This topic is taken up because almost all universities in India teach microprocessors and microcontrollers as a single course.

The is a popular microcontroller that is easy for students to understand. Download e-Book. Posted on. Page Count. Mark J Johnson,. The Second Edition was thoroughly reorganized and rewritten based on classroom experience to incorporate: A spiral approach, starting with turtle graphics, and then revisiting concepts in greater depth using numeric, textual, and image data Clear, concise explanations written for beginning students, emphasizing core principles A variety of accessible examples, focusing on key concepts Diagrams to help visualize new concepts New sections on recursion and exception handling, as well as an earlier introduction of lists, based on instructor feedback The text offers sections designed for approximately one class period each, and proceeds gradually from procedural to object-oriented design.
