|A second edition of this book has given me the opportunity to respond to suggestions from both students and correspondents from around the world, fromdisparateregionsrangingfromScotlandtoHawaii. Sincethe time of the ?rst edition written in the late 1990s, the Microchip PIC range has become the largest volume selling 8-bit MCU. The mid-range f- ily used in the original edition has continued to expand vigorously, with some of the exemplars used becoming essentially obsolete. In addition, the enhanced-range 16-bit instruction line has been enlarged from vir- ally nothing to form a signi?cant proportion of the family. At the same time, new introductions to the original low- (or base-) end architecture continue apace. Because of the close relationship between the low-, mid-, high- and enhanced-range lines, the focus of the new edition has stayed with the mid-range line up. Virtually all diagrams have been modi?ed, many extensively, and - merous additional new ?gures have been added. Throughout the text, special attention has been paid to clarify the basic concepts. In Part I, Chapter 3 has been extensively rewritten with this in mind and to b- ter integrate with Chapters 4 and 5 in Part II, both of which bear only a super?cial relation to the original text. Chapter 7, covering interrupt handling, has also been largely rewritten to elucidate a di?cult topic.|
The PIC microcontroller is a relatively simple chip that help makes appliances and electronics easier to use. This book provides a sound foundation of the PIC microcontroller and will help readers design, construct, and program a working embedded system. The key concepts are covered in incrementally, beginning with simple digital theory and computer architecture and ending up with an instructive case study. No background in electronics, logic design, number theory, or computing is needed. Includes use of real-world hardware and software, and many examples, to help illustrate key points and underlying concepts.
The Fundamentals.- Digital Representation.- Logic Circuitry.- Stored Program Processing.- The Software.- The PIC16F84 Microcontroller.- The Instruction Set.- Subroutines and Modules.- Interrupt Handling.- Assembly Language Code Building Tools.- High-Level Language.- The Outside World.- The Real World.- One Byte at a Time.- One Bit at a Time.- Time Is of the Essence.- Take the Rough with the Smooth.- To Have and to Hold.- Enhancing the Family.- A Case Study.
The Quintessential PIC® Microcontroller deals with the central `intelligence´ of most smart embedded digital systems and aims to give the reader the confidence to design, construct and program a real working system using the industrial standard and popular Microchip PIC family of devices as the exemplar.
Aimed specifically at a readership with no prior knowledge of software, electronics or logic design, this book is suitable for both industrial engineers and hobbyists. Students of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, taking relevant courses or engaged in project work at either an under- or postgraduate level, will find it an ideal textbook.
The second edition has been extensively rewritten to both rationalize and clarify the introductory chapters and to update and extend the core material. Whilst the thrust remains with the Mid-range devices, an additional chapter has also been added on the Extended-range family.
Key features include:
- The use of current real-world hardware and software products to illustrate the material
- Numerous fully worked examples as well as self-assessment questions
- An associated web site providing solutions, further examples, listings and useful resources at http://www.engj.ulst.ac.uk/sidk/quintessential
- Clear and concise presentation of key points and underlying concepts
