This book is an in-depth exploration of the PIC architecture and its use in embedded systems design. The book starts with an introduction to the PIC architecture and the basics of assembly language programming. It progresses to advanced topics. This book is a comprehensive guide to the PIC microcontroller and its architecture. It includes the fundamentals of the PIC architecture, the operation of the PIC microcontroller, and the programming of the PIC microcontroller. The PIC Microcontroller is a great tool for hobbyists and professionals alike. This book is the first and only book to cover the architecture of the PIC Microcontroller and its instruction set. Why this book? A microcomputer is a term used to describe systems that have a microprocessor, a memory (Data & Program), and input and output (I/O) devices. Additionally, other components such as timers, counters, and analog to digital (ADC) converters may be included in some microcomputer systems. Thus, a microcomputer system ranges from a large computer that has a hard disk, CD ROM, and printers to a bite-size single-chip embedded microcontroller. In this book, we will cover single silicon chip microcomputers. Such microcomputer systems are well-known by the name Microcontrollers, and they are used in many devices in almost every house, such as TV remote control units, microwave ovens, cookers, Mp3 players, personal computers, washing machines, and refrigerators. In this book, we will cover the following • Introduction to PIC Microcontroller • Advantages of PIC Microcontroller • Main differences between a microcontroller and a computer • Common uses of PIC Microcontroller in real-life applications • Different Memory types and different PIC Microcontrollers families • How to choose the right Microcontroller for your Project.
The Complete Guide to the PIC Microcontroller and its Architecture is a textbook for electrical engineering and computer engineering students. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the architecture of the PIC microcontroller, the programming language C, and the programming environment
