Features: This book is a national-level planning teaching material for the 15th Five-Year Plan of the Ministry of Education's general higher education. From the perspective of microcomputer systems, it provides a relatively comprehensive introduction to the composition and working principles of microcomputer systems. It focuses on analyzing the basic structure, working process, and basic instruction set of typical representative microprocessors in the 80X86 system, such as the 8086, 80386, and Pentium4 (Pentium 4). It elaborates on the composition and classification of computer storage systems, the working principles of main memory and cache memory, the application of typical chips, the working principles and performance of some online and offline external storage devices, as well as new technologies in storage. Additionally, it dedicates considerable space to introducing the bus structure and input/output (I/O) technology in microcomputer systems, including basic input/output methods and the application of typical digital and analog I/O interface chips. Finally, it briefly introduces the working principles of some common peripherals, device drivers, and multimedia technology in computers. This book covers a broad scope, emphasizing fundamental concepts while introducing numerous examples to illustrate various application issues. It aims to provide readers with a relatively comprehensive understanding of microcomputer systems through study, laying a solid foundation for further microcomputer applications. This book can serve as a teaching material for undergraduate students of non-electrical majors in general universities, a training textbook for adult higher education, and a self-study reference book for.
