Using the popular and pervasive mid-range 8-bit Microchip PICŪ as an
archetype, Microcontroller Programming offers a self-contained
presentation of the multidisciplinary tools needed to design and
implement modern embedded systems and microcontrollers. The authors
begin with basic electronics, number systems, and data concepts followed
by digital logic, arithmetic, conversions, circuits, and circuit
components to build a firm background in the computer science and
electronics fundamentals involved in programming microcontrollers. For
the remainder of the book, they focus on PIC architecture and
programming tools and work systematically through programming various
functions, modules, and devices.
