Abstract
A “bit” is a binary digit expressing either the number 0 or 1. In digital electronics the 0 and 1 are expressed by the nominal 0V or 5V, respectively, although there is a range of voltages recognized as 0V and a range recognized as 5V, as explained in Chapter 7. The microcomputer in which we are interested in these chapters is the 8-bit microcomputer typified by such microprocessor families as the Motorola 6800, Intel 8080/8085, TI 990, and Rockwell 6502.
