Art of Assembly Language Programming Using PIC(R) Technology: Core Fundamentals

The Art of Assembly Language Programming Using PICmicro(R) Technology: Core Fundamentals thoroughly covers assembly language used in programming the PIC Microcontroller (MCU). Using the minimal instruction set characteristic of all PICmicro(R) products, the author elaborates on how to execute loops, control timing and disassemble code from C mnemonics. Detailed memory maps assist the reader with tricky areas of code, and appendices on basic math supplement reader background. In-depth coverage is further provided on paging techniques that are unique to PICmicro(R) 16C57. This book is written for a broad range of skill levels, and is relevant for both the beginner and skilled C-embedded programmer.

In addition, a supplemental appendix provides advice on working with consultants, in general, and on selecting an appropriate consultant within the microchip design consultant program. With this book, users you will learn the symbols and terminology used by programmers and engineers in microprocessor applications, how to program using assembly language through examples and applications, how to program a microchip microprocessor, how to select the processor with minimal memory, and more.

• Teaches how to start writing simple code, e.g., PICmicro(R) 10FXXX and 12FXXX
• Offers unique and novel approaches on how to add your personal touch using PICmicro(R) 'bread and butter' enhanced mid-range 16FXXX and 18FXXX processors
• Teaches new coding and math knowledge to help build skillsets
• Shows how to dramatically reduce product cost by achieving 100% control
• Demonstrates how to gain optimization over C programming, reduce code space, tighten up timing loops, reduce the size of microcontrollers required, and lower overall product cost
