Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to describe the fundamentals of the operation of a microprocessor-based system, such as a microcomputer or a programmable industrial controller. The word ‘fundamentals’ should be emphasized, since it is not possible in one chapter to cover the range of topics that should be included for a full understanding of microprocessors and microcontrollers. However, for those readers who have not had a full course on this subject, this chapter will be sufficient to give an understanding of this very important and interesting technology.
