The new generation of 32-bit PIC microcontrollers can be used to solve the increasingly complex embedded system design challenges faced by engineers today. This book teaches the basics of 32-bit C programming, including an introduction to the PIC 32-bit C compiler. It includes a full description of the architecture of 32-bit PICs and their applications, along with coverage of the relevant development and debugging tools. Through a series of fully realized example projects, Dogan Ibrahim demonstrates how engineers can harness the power of this new technology to optimize their embedded designs. With this book you will learn: . The advantages of 32-bit PICs . The basics of 32-bit PIC programming . The detail of the architecture of 32-bit PICs . How to interpret the Microchip data sheets and draw out their key points . Which is the best development environment to use . How to use the built-in peripheral interface devices, including SD cards, CAN and USB interfacing . How to use 32-bit debugging tools such as the ICD3 in-circuit debugger, mikroICD in-circuit debugger, and Real Ice emulator Helps engineers to get up and running quickly with full coverage of architecture, programming and development tools. . Logical, application-oriented structure, progressing through a project development cycle from basic operation to real-world applications. . Includes practical working examples with block diagrams, circuit diagrams, flowcharts, full software listings and in-depth description of each operation.
