Microcontroller is a control chip, a tiny computer that has now penetrated into almost all fields of our life. It is almost difficult to find any filed that presently has no trace of microcontroller. The electronic gadgets and equipments we use in our daily life like remote controls, toys, induction cooker, mobile phones, automobiles, navigational devices, robots, all employ one or more microcontroller. Microcontrollers are sometimes referred to as Embedded Controller as the software to power them could often be found embedded within the chip itself as monolithic package. This book focuses on 8051 microcontroller, introduced by Intel Corporation. Intel refers to this also as MCS-51. The book orients learners on 8051 microcontroller hardware and its features. More importantly, Microcontrollers are powerful only when the code that runs them is equally efficient. The book hence further explores on assembly programming and embedded C programming for developing equally powerful codes.
