DESCRIPTION:
From the Back CoverFocuses 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 s
"Concise, readable design guide suitable for beginners." according to A Customer. Unlike many of the current micro-controller texts currently available which extoll the history of the technology and earlier (re. out of date information), this text is refreshingly to the point. It focuses on current PIC controllers (could use an addendum for newest additions) and current interface components such as rotary encoders and LCD displays suitable for low cost design. Additionally, instead of the classical approach to assembly language pedagogy, the text instead, takes a template approach in which the requirements of simple PIC microprograms are developed first and then more complex techniques are introduced. An excellent introduction, text, and reference I recommend this book without qualification! After a disappointing encounter with the popular Predko book, I bought John Peatman's book sight unseen. I was not disappointed. This book has strong content, writing, and organization. It supplies all the information I needed to get started and it moves smoothly to advanced programming and applications. The only surprise, after Predko's book, was that Peatman focuses on the larger packages, with no mention of the 18- and 8-pin devices; however, since the features of the larger devices are a superset of the smaller devices, it is easy to understand (and use) the smaller devic. Poorly written, unclear and superficial Christopher As with Peatman's other books, this one SEEMS to cover the material at first glance in the bookstore. But then, after the reader purchases the book and gets it home, s/he will find the coverage incomplete and diluted. What do I mean? Specifically, there are no detailed or in-depth examples. The material is abstract and general in nature. For a topic like microcontrollers, the reader needs examples that are "step-by-step" and "how-to". These are totally lacking. Buy any other book instead. Then you might actually learn something.
Discusses a number of important topics, including the PIC's flexible analog-to-digital conversion facility; the master-slave interconnection of PICs; low-power operation alternatives; and comparisons of PIC family members for design requirement analysis. Presents a systematic treatment of slowly changing events, including keyswitches that have been debounced and scanned with a state machine implementation. Focusing on Microchip Technology's "PIC" microcontroller chips capacity to integrate features of a digital design, this book introduces program writing with a series of code templates that helps readers learn by doing rather that start code writing from scratch.
