The Quintessential Pic(r) Microcontroller

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Quintessential PIC® Microcontroller looks at one of the central technologies in many embedded computer and communication systems: the microcontroller. It approaches microcontrollers as the "intelligence" of smart digital systems and gives readers the confidence to design, construct and program a real working system using the popular PIC device as the exemplar. Written specifically for students with no prior knowledge of computing, electronics, or logic design, it is ideally suited as a textbook for relevant modules on Computer Science and Electronic Engineering degree courses. It is also relevant to students carrying out project work at final year undergraduate and postgraduate level, and to those on conversion MScs.

Key features include:- The use of real-world hardware and software products to illustrate the material- Numerous fully worked examples and self-assessment questions- An associated web site providing solutions, further examples, and useful resources- Clear and concise presentation of key points and underlying concepts

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.
