Features: This book takes the x86 series microcomputer as the platform and systematically elaborates on the basic structure and interface of modern microcomputers, as well as the fundamental principles and applications of buses. The content mainly includes the basic structure and development of microcomputers, the basic structure and development of microprocessors, I/O port address decoding technology, buses and interfaces, DMA technology, interrupt technology, timing/counting technology, parallel interfaces, serial interfaces, human-computer interaction interfaces, A/D and D/A conversion interfaces, as well as advanced PC programming techniques. The book is rich in content, covering both typical interface technologies and new interface and bus technologies; it discusses both the hardware aspects of interfaces and emphasizes their software programming. The entire book involves many new technologies, such as the PCI bus, IEEE1394, USB, next-generation bus technologies, the 815EP chipset, interrupt technology in protected mode, and the writing of device drivers under Windows 9x and Windows 2000. These reflect the latest levels and trends in the development of modern microcomputer technology and demonstrate the unity of hardware design and software driving in microcomputer interface technology.
