Features: This book is written for undergraduate students in electrical and information engineering programs at universities, who are non-computer majors. Starting from the general organization and structural principles of microcomputers, it elaborates on the system structure and functional structure of microcomputers, as well as the relationships between various subsystems and components within the microcomputer. Based on the explanation of general principles, the book uses personal computers (PCs) as examples to illustrate these principles. Additionally, it fully considers the content covered in the Computer Rank Examination (Level 3A). The book is written in a lively and fluent style, with comprehensive and rich content, emphasizing both theory and practice. It is divided into 8 chapters, with main topics including: an overview of microcomputers, number systems and codes in computers, system structure, the 8086/8088 CPU and its architecture, addressing modes and instruction set, assembly language programming, the microcomputer system of the 8086/8088 CPU, and serial communication and interfaces of microcomputers. Furthermore, each chapter includes exercises for post-class practice. This book can serve as both a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in non-electrical and information engineering programs and a reference for engineers engaged in hardware design, development, or microcomputer system development for industrial control.
