Book excerpt: "Embedded Microcontrollers and Processor Design is for students in electronics, engineering, or engineering technology who are learning to design with advanced microcontrollers and processors. - This text focuses on RISC design and covers the architectural aspects of RISC computing. - Rather than narrowly concentrate on a specific microcontroller, this text looks at the overall architectural innovations used across RISC implementations, from single-chip microcontrollers to complex systems on a chip."--Jacket.
