A number of microprocessor applications are considered; including data processing; process control; and telephone switching. This book is comprised of 10 chapters and begins with a historical overview of computers and computing; followed by a discussion on computer architecture and programmed machines; paying particular attention to the functions of a computer such as the representation and processing of numbers; symbols; and characters. Subsequent chapters explain how a microprocessor works and outlines the basics of microprogramming; along with types of input and output; system design; and microprocessor selection. The use of ROMs to replace combinational logic is considered. Finally; the use of microprocessors in management is discussed. A glossary of terms used throughout the text is included. This monograph will be of interest to computer scientists; computer programmers; systems designers; electronics engineers; undergraduates; and microprocessor enthusiasts.
