Design With Pic Microcontrollers

This book is directed toward students of electrical engineering and computer engineering at the senior level and toward practicing engineers. The text develops design techniques for using microcontrollers (i.e. single-chip microcomputers). It emphasizes microcontroller versus microprocessor (e.g. Pentium and Power PC chip) issues. The PIC microcontroller provides a fine opportunity to develop design capability under rather ideal conditions, with real and unambiguous design specifications. The features of the PIC parts are discussed in detail and the design implication for real applications are explored. Over 200 figures provide a visual perspective of the design process.
