Microprocessors: From Assembly Language to C Using the PIC18Fxx2
This book is a first course in microprocessors using the PIC18Fxx2 microprocessor with the only prerequisites being basic digital design and exposure to either C or C++ programming. The topic coverage is wide, with a mixture of software and hardware topics. The book begins with simple microprocessor architecture concepts and moves to assembly language
programming in a C language context. Hardware interface topics include the fundamentals, such as parallel IO, asynchronous serial IO (I2C and SPI), interrupt-driven IO, timers, analog-to-digital, and digital-to-analog conversion. The hardware interfacing examples use C to keep code complexity low and improve clarity, using devices that do not require extensive circuits knowledge. The assembly language programming topics emphasize the linkage between C language constructs and their assembly language equivalent so students clearly understand the impact of C coding choices related to executing time and memory requirements. A capstone chapter has projects on audio record and playback, a home monitoring system, and an autonomous wheeled robot. This is a must-have resource that prepares students for advanced courses in embedded systems or computer architecture.
