Microcontroller InformationMotorola HC11
The HC11 family includes a large number of variations, ranging from single-chippers
to larger micros with bank-switching support.
The HC12 family is the next step up from the HC11, offering better performance,
better memory management, and more features.
The 6805 family is the next step down from the HC11, with more single-chip variations,
smaller packages, and lower cost.
I have a love-hate relationship with PICs. The devices are readily available,
reasonably priced, very fast, and come in lots of variations. However, the
architecture itself is awkward to say the least, with small memory maps, poor
support for compilers, and byzantine assembly language. Support is
awesome, though, both from Microchip and numerous third parties.
The 8051 was one of the first microcontroller families, and remains one of the
most commonly used. The devices are available from multiple sources, are cheap,
have decent tools, and offer a nice upgrade path to larger and more capable part.
The Rabbit 2000 from Rabbit Semiconductor is a descendant of the venerable Z80 family of
microcontrollers. The Rabbit offers high performance, 8-bit memory interface, 1 megabit
of code space, four serial ports, up to 40 I/O lines, seven timers, a built-in RTC (real
time clock), and support for in-system programming and TCP/IP networking.

Microcontroller Books
This book helps you get started writing embedded software in C and C++ by offering practical techniques and code examples directly applicable to real-world embedded software projects of all sorts. Even if you've done some embedded programming before, you'll still benefit from the topics in this book, which include: memory testing, flash memory, nonvolatile memory, peripherals, device driver design and implementation, optimization, C++ performance issues, and more. By Michael Barr.  Programming Microcontrollers in C BUY NOW $78.95This practical tutorial reviews the essentials of C programming for microcontrollers and examines in detail the issues faced when writing C code. Geared toward embedded system designers, the book teaches how to write high-level C programming code, maximize performance, and use some of the popular microcontrollers in real-world applications. Included is a CD-ROM for Windows containing all C code used in the book, compilers for popular microcontrollers, and a fully searchable electronic version of the book. By Ted Van Sickle.  Networking and Internetworking with Microcontrollers BUY NOW $70.95This book shows how to use today's affordable microcontrollers for powerful networkign applications such as LAN's (local area networks) and embedded internet. Using working code examples and schematic diagrams, the reader is guided through the basics of developing his or her own applications. Full working designs for implementing embedded internet and Ethernet connectivitty are described and sample sourse code is provided and thoroughly explained.  The Microcontroller Application Cookbook (2 Volume Set) BUY NOW $54.95The popular Microcontroller Application Cookbook "Volume 1" as well as "Volume 2" are included in this two volume set. Each book is based on the BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller, and includes complete schematic diagrams as well as code samples to help you create working circuits fast.  Analog Interfacing to Embedded Microprocessors BUY NOW $64.95Addresses the technologies and methods used in connecting analog input and output devices to digital microprocessors for embedded applications. The author focuses on measurement and control of analog quantities in embedded systems that are required to interface with the real world, and provides practical control applications and opamp examples.
