TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER INTERFACING, WITH EXPERIMENTS ISBN: 0-672-21893-3 Authors: Andrew C. Staugaard., Jr. Publisher: Howard W. Sams & Co., Inc. 4300 West 62nd St. Indianapolis, IN 46268 Copyright: 1983 Provides the reader with a basic understanding of the inner structure and operation of the TRS-80 Color Computer, its major LSI components, and its expansion capabilities. Explains the carious features of the 6809E microprocessor-the central processing unit of the TRS-80 Color Computer. Shows how the three fundamental interfacing functions-decoding, three-state buffering, and latching-can be performed using digital logic design techniques. Describes how to use a programmable interface adapter (PIA) to develop a simple parallel input/output interface for the TRS-80 Color Computer expansion connector. Covers digital-to-analog (D/A) and analog-to-digital (A/D) converters and shows how these devices can be connected to the TRS-80 Color Computer to monitor and control external events. Presents six practical experiments in the final chapter designed to demonstrate the material presented in the preceding chapters. Contains three appendixes of reference material covering number systems and computer arithmetic, a review of digital logic circuits, and manufacturers' data sheets on the 6809E SPU, the 6821 PIA, the NE5018 D/A converter, and the ADC0804LCN A/D converter.   | Home Page | Blacksburg Continuing Education Series | Book Titles & Covers | Authors | | Original BugBook Series | Italian Book Series | Japanese Book Series |   Call: (540) 745-2322 or (540) 763-2321 evenings after 7:00 p.m. Email me for more information: ......
