Beschreibung
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
Microprocessors and their microcontroller derivatives are a ubiquitous, if rather invisible, part of the infrastructure of our 21st century electronic 1 and communications society. In 1998 it was reckoned that hidden in ev ery home were about 100 microcontrollers and microprocessors; in the sillging birthday card, washing machine, microwave oven, television con troller, telephone, personal computer and so on. About 20 more lurked in the average family car. For example monitoring in-tire radio pressure sensors and displaying critical data through the car area network (CAN). Around 4 billion such devices are sold each year to implement the intelligence of these smart electronic devices, ranging from smart egg timers through aircraft management systems. The evolution of the mi croprocessor from the firstIntel device introduced 30 years ago in 1971 has revolutionised the structure of society, effectively creating the sec ond smart industrial revolution coming to fruition at the beginning of the 21st century. Although the microprocessor is better known in its guise of powering the ubiquitous PC, in which raw computing power is the goal, sales of such microprocessors as the Intel Pentium, represent only around 2% of total volume. The vast majority of sales are of low-cost microcontrollers embedded into a dedicated-function digital electronic device, such as the smart card. Here the emphasis is the integration of the core processor with memory and input/output resources in the one chip. This integrated computing system is known as a microcontroller.
Specifically written to give students an easy introduction to this important topic (Visit: http://www.engj.ulst.ac.uk/sidk/quintessential)

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.
