About 15. Applications of Microprocessor

This chapter brings it all together to show you the bigger picture: "What can we actually build with this?" This chapter explores the vast world of real-world applications, from embedded systems (like traffic light controllers and washing machines) to instrumentation (like digital voltmeters and signal generators) and control systems (like temperature controllers). It emphasizes that the 8085 isn't just a history lesson—its architecture is the foundation of all modern computing and control systems.

How It Works: You will look at case studies and block diagrams of complete systems. For example, a temperature controller: the 8085 reads a temperature sensor via an ADC, compares the reading to a set point, and then uses a DAC to control a heater. A traffic light controller uses the 8253 for precise timing and the 8255 for controlling the traffic light LEDs. This chapter shows you how to combine all the peripheral chips (8255, 8253, 8279, 8259, 8257, ADCs, DACs) with the 8085 to create a fully functional, dedicated microprocessor-based system that can interact with the physical world.
