Publisher's Synopsis
For the single-semester/quarter Advanced Microprocessors course.
A thorough introduction to all hardware and software aspects of the Intel 32-bit microprocessors, including the Pentium chip. To accommodate the Intel family's diversity, coverage first concentrates on real-mode assembly language programming compatible with all versions of the Intel microprocessor family, and subsequently compares and contrasts advanced family members with the foundational 8086/8088. This building-block presentation is especially effective because the Intel family units are so similar that learning advanced versions is easy once the basics are understood. As with programming instruction, interfacing is first developed using the 80386/80486 with common peripherals, and more advanced interfaces are presented only after simple ones are explored.
