Typically for a one-semester course at the senior level, but can also be used at the junior level.
This book is developed around Microchip's latest family of parts, the PIC18FXXX family. It focuses on the PIC18F452, a new part brought to market in May 2002. Throughout this book, the approach taken is to introduce a template of assembly language code that encompasses a set of features of the PIC18F452 plus its interactions with some of the I/O devices resident on a small 4"x4" development board. The unpopulated board is included, gratis, with the first printing of the book. A kit of parts to populate the board can be purchased from Digi-Key Corporation. Assembly of the board is detailed in an appendix. This QwikFlash board, the code templates, and a free QwikBug monitor that can be programmed into the PIC18F452 support code development by the reader. It is intended that the reader will find a smooth path to the creative process of writing enhanced application code. This book attempts to organize and unify the development of these three capabilities: to understand and use components, to exploit powerful algorithmic processes, and to break down the complexity of an instrument or device so as to meet its specifications. The book is dedicated toward the development of creative design capability.
- Each component is sufficiently explained; although the context of the book is electrical.
-
Permits the book to be used in a variety of curricula as an introduction to design using a microcontroller; many parts of this book are self-contained.
-
- Most chapters close with an assortment of problems, many having a design flavor.
-
Helps readers take advantage of the opportunities for developing microcontroller design capability.
-
- Suggested course calendar—Included at the beginning of Appendix A10 along with ten “starter” lab projects.
- Hundreds of figures.
-
Gives visual support to the text.

John B. Peatman is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is the author of five earlier digital design, microprocessor, and microcontroller textbooks. He is also a director with the Intelligent Systems Corporation. His current research interests include the design of low-cost development tools for microcontrollers. Professor Peatman is a Fellow of the IEEE.
John Peatman's latest microcontroller work focuses on Microchip Technology's PIC18FXXX family, and its newest member, the PIC18F452. The enhanced instruction set and addressing modes simplify program code development, and the on-chip resources make this the most powerful PIC microcontroller ever.
Its flash program memory and built-in background debug mode provide internal programming/debugging support of program development. The presentation style throughout this book is to introduce the reader to simple programs that encompass features of the PIC18F452, plus interactions with I/0 devices, providing the reader with a smooth and quick learning process for creatively writing enhanced application code. Hundreds of figures give visual support to the text. Examples, end-of-chapter problems, suggested lab projects, complete designs, plus a QwikFlash development board support a "learning by doing" environment.
