The X 86 Microprocessors: Architecture, Programming and Interfacing (8086 to Pentium) 2nd Edition by Pearson

This second edition of The x86 Microprocessors has been revised to present the hardware and software aspects of the subject in a logical and concise manner. Designed for an undergraduate course on the 16-bit microprocessor and Pentium processor, the book provides a detailed analysis of the x86 family architecture while laying equal emphasis on its programming and interfacing attributes. The book also covers 8051 Microcontroller and its applications completely.
