Synopsis

Appropriate for upper-level undergraduate courses on Microcontrollers in Electrical or Computer Engineering.

Focuses on the use of Microchip Technology's "PIC" microcontroller chips to integrate the features of a digital design. The book introduces program writing with a series of code templates that helps readers learn by doing rather that start their own code writing from scratch.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Focuses on the use of Microchip Technology's "PIC" microcontroller chips to integrate the features of a digital design. The book introduces program writing with a series of code templates that helps readers learn by doing, rather that start their own code writing from scratch.

FEATURES:

• Uses detailed block diagrams to illustrate all registers, control bits, and status bits associated with assorted functions.
• Uses examples throughout to illustrate points and to show readers how assorted issues can be handled.
• Provides a systematic path into the PIC microcontrollers by showing its organization and ways to deal with its complexities.
• Provides alternative methods for addressing interrupt timing constraints designed to meet the needs of all interrupt sources.
• Presents a systematic treatment of slowly changing events, including keyswitches that have been debounced and scanned with a state machine implementation.
• Includes the I/O port expansion using the serial peripheral interface that provides a simple mechanism for eliminating the problem of "not enough pins."
• Presents expansion with I2C devices.
• Presents the details of the PIC's unusually flexible analog-to- digital conversion facility.
• Discusses the master-slave interconnection of PICs.
• Presents low-power operation alternatives.
• Provides quick insight into the family member which will meet design requirements with block diagram comparisons of PIC family members.(Figure A-4)
• Includes several important pedagogical features:
  • Problems at the end of each chapter reinforce the material presented.
