Microcontroller Programming And Interfacing

This book provides a thorough introduction to the Texas Instruments MPS430 microcontroller. The MPS430 is a16-bit reduced instruction set (RISC) processor that features ultra-low power consumption and integrated digitaland analog hardware. Variants of the MPS430 microcontroller have been in production since 1993. This provides fora host of MPS430 products including evaluation boards, compilers, and documentation. A thorough introductionto the MPS430 line of microcontrollers, programming techniques, and interface concepts are provided along withconsiderable tutorial information with many illustrated examples. Each chapter provides laboratory exercises toapply what has been presented in the chapter. The book is intended for an upper level undergraduate course inmicrocontrollers or mechatronics but may also be used as a reference for capstone design projects. Also, practicingengineers already familiar with another microcontroller, who require a quick tutorial on the microcontroller, willfind this book very useful.
