Micro-controllers in Systems Design
In most design environments, hardware and software are segmented. Moreover, specialists typically handle the tasks separately. While this may be beneficial for large systems development, it restricts understanding of the overall big picture of computer applications.

This treatise will present the application of both hardware and software to the solution of real problems. The most effective piece of equipment to provide a simultaneous understanding of computer architecture and programming is the microcontroller.

The microcontroller has a complete computer built on a chip. In addition, much of the interface hardware to outside components has been included on the chip. A working computer is obtained by connecting switches to the input, digital displays to the output, and adding a program to the memory.
