Features: With the development of science and technology and the improvement of craftsmanship, modern information technology has achieved remarkable accomplishments. The fruits of information technology have permeated every corner of today's society. As the foundation of modern information technology, digital and microprocessor technology has also made significant progress. Originally, digital circuits, microcontrollers, and microprocessor technology were fundamental courses for electronic and information engineering majors in China and have become compulsory courses for the majority of engineering disciplines. How to integrate the achievements of modern information technology into the teaching of digital and microprocessor technology is not only an urgent issue for faculty in China's higher education institutions but also a goal for teaching staff in other engineering disciplines (such as electrical engineering, mechatronics, and electromechanical integration). This book is a summary of Professor William Kleitz's years of teaching and research. It covers two main parts: digital circuits and microprocessor technology. The digital circuits section includes basic theories and applications of various gate circuits and combinational logic, flip-flops and sequential logic, and interface circuits with analog signals, with a special focus on the application of various digital circuits in microprocessor systems. The microprocessor section primarily introduces system hardware composition, bus methods, instruction systems, and interfaces using the 8085A 8-bit microprocessor. Finally, it discusses the differences between microcontrollers and microprocessors, as well as the system composition, interfaces, instruction systems, and practical applications of the 8051 8-bit microcontroller. Each chapter includes a summary of its content and provides readers with common technical terms and exercises (with answers to some exercises provided at the end of the book) to enhance their understanding. The book is written in an accessible yet comprehensive manner, aiming to cultivate and improve readers' practical design skills in digital and microprocessor technology. Based on the content of the previous three editions, this book has added new technologies in digital and microprocessor technology in an appendix, such as computer magnetic/optical storage, programmable logic devices (CPLD and FPGA), and microprocessor simulation. The accompanying CD-ROM provides readers with useful learning tools. The book covers two main parts: digital circuits and microprocessor technology. The digital circuits section includes basic theories and applications of various gate circuits and combinational logic, flip-flops and sequential logic, and interface circuits with analog signals, with a special focus on the application of various digital circuits in subsequent chapters. The microprocessor section primarily introduces system hardware composition, bus methods, instruction systems, and interfaces using the 8085A 8-bit microprocessor. Finally, it discusses the differences between microcontrollers and microprocessors, as well as the system composition, interfaces, instruction systems, and practical applications of the 8051 8-bit microcontroller. The book is written in an accessible yet comprehensive manner, aiming to cultivate and improve readers' practical design skills in digital and microprocessor technology. It can serve as a textbook for digital circuits and microprocessor technology courses in electrical engineering majors, as well as a self-study textbook and reference for non-electrical engineering majors and other engineering professionals in digital circuits and microprocessor systems.
