Ideal for use in a microprocessor course in electrical engineering or computer science, provides an introduction to the architecture and design of hardware and software for the Motorola M68HC11. It covers all M68HC11 hardware features, and shows students how to use the Motorola AS11 assembler and the Buffalo Monitor and debugger. The instruction set is described with many examples, and a unique chapter gives complete example programs, including illustrations of how to use assembly language programming to write programs that have been designed using high-level pseudo-code. In addition to covering the features common to all members of the M68HC11 family of microcontrollers, it also discusses advanced features.

This text can be used as a supplement with its companion volume, , or with any other book that explains the general principles of microcomputer technology. The text is accompanied by an instructor's manual which includes problem solutions, a course outline, and a selection of laboratory exercises.
