Sources

This Appendix lists a variety of sources to help you in your 8052-BASIC projects, including books, on-line BBS’s, and companies who offer products related to the topics in this book.

Books

Here is a selection of books about BASIC-52, the 8051/2 microcontroller family, and related topics:

BASIC-52 Essentials

These are the essential hardware and software manuals for working with the 8052-BASIC. You’ll need either Intel’s or Systronix’s programming manual, and a data book from Intel or another 8052 vendor. See the Product Vendors section for addresses and phone numbers.

BASIC-52 Programming

Systronix $20 postpaid

Complete reference to the BASIC-52 programming language. Includes many program examples and handy back-cover index.

Appendix A

BASIC-52 User’s Manual (Intel #270010-004 $15

Complete reference to the BASIC-52 programming language. Includes some circuit schematics.

Embedded Microcontrollers Handbook (Intel) $22.95

Intel’s handbook, or data book, has hardware details and an assembly-languuage reference for the 8052 and 80C52 (and much more), but nothing specifically about the 8052BASIC chip. Intel updates the data books yearly, so the exact title and price may vary. Ask for the data book that covers 8-bit embedded controllers. Philips, Siemens, and other manufacturers also publish data books for their 8052 and 80C52 chips.

8051/2 Microcontrollers

These are some additional books about the 8051 family of microcontrollers. The Product Vendors list has addresses and phone numbers for many of the publishers. Local bookstores can order the others, which are from major publishers.

Assembly Language Programming (L.S. Electronic Systems, 190 pages, $33.00). For the 8051 family.

C and the 8051: Programming and Multitasking, by Thomas W. Schultz (Prentice Hall, 1993, $52). Discusses using an operating system to handle multiple tasks. Examples include solenoid cyclers, a pulse generator, envelope detector, and motor speed control, using the C programming language.

The 8051 Family of Microcontrollers by Richard H. Barnett (Prentice Hall, 1995, 164 pages, $49)

The 8051 Microcontroller, 2nd edition, I. Scott MacKenzie (Macmillan, 1994, 356 pages, $58). Includes schematics for a single-board computer, assembly-language source code for a monitor program, and interfaces to a keypad, LEDs, and loudspeaker.

The 8051 Microcontroller: Architecture, Programming, and Applications, Kenneth J. Ayala (West Publishing Company, 1991, 241 pages, $49). Includes disk with assembler and simulator.

The 8051 Microcontroller: Hardware, Software, and Interfacing, James W. Stewart (Regents/Prentice Hall, 1993, $27.50, 273 pages). Includes many interfacing examples, such as switches, solenoids, relays, shaft encoders, displays, motors, and A/D converters, and a chapter on top-down design method.

Programming and Interfacing with Microcontrollers–Experimenting with the 8031 Family of Microcontrollers (Rigel Corporation).

Data Books

Data books are where to look for specific, detailed information about a particular IC. They’re also a good source for application examples. National Semiconductor has a good selection of books covering most types of integrated circuits. The exact titles and prices change from year to year, but this is a typical selection:

CMOS Logic (including HCMOS, HCTMOS, 4000 series, 74C series) TTL Logic (including LSTTL)

Linear Devices (A/D, D/A, temperature sensors, voltage references)

Op Amps

Power ICs (voltage regulators, peripheral drivers)

You can request data books directly from the manufacturers. Digi-Key and other component vendors also offer a selection. For a small charge, many suppliers will include data sheets for individual components that you order.

Related Topics

These are some other books that you may find useful in designing, building, and working with microcontroller circuits:

The Art of Electronics, second edition by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill (Cambridge University Press, 1989, $59.95). A complete and readable reference on electronic circuits of all types.

BBS’s

Use your personal computer and communications software to explore these BBS’s (on-line bulletin boards), which are good sources for files relating to the 8051/2, including the 8052-BASIC.

Internet

Many of the vendors listed here now have information available on the World Wide Web. Lakeview Research’s Web site includes a BASIC-52 page with links to product vendors and updates to the information in this book. You can also save yourself some typing by downloading a file containing all of the code listings in the book.
