- A comprehensive, highly illustrated introduction to microelectronic systems and the PIC microcontroller
- New edition has been updated to address newer chips, including the 16F877 - the most popular chip from the 16F8X range.
- Focus on the 16F84 as the starting point for introducing the basic architecture of the PIC - the most popular device for project work
- Companion website features demonstration programmes and examples using MPLAB and Proteus software to illustrate theory in practice
Assuming no prior knowledge of microcontrollers, Martin Bates provides a comprehensive introduction to microcontroller systems and applications covering all the fundamental principles of microelectronics. Using Microchip's Integrated Development Environment for PIC microcontrollers, MPLAB, the book goes on to introduce microelectronic systems through the most popular PIC devices currently used for project work, both in colleges and on undergraduate university courses. Students of introductory level microelectronics, including microprocessor / microcontroller systems courses, introductory embedded systems design and control electronics, will find this highly illustrated text covers all their requirements for working with the PIC.
