CHAPTER 12. Some PIC microcontroller advances
The world of embedded systems is one of relentless change. Higher speed, more flexibility, lower cost and lower power consumption are being demanded continuously. So far, we have picked up the fundamental techniques and technologies of embedded systems, using microcontrollers chosen because they demonstrate well the principles that we need to know about. There are of course any number of more sophisticated features which they do not carry. As we move to a more advanced level of study, it becomes useful to know about some of these features. That is the purpose of this chapter. It aims:
• To introduce in overview two microcontrollers which show some enhanced features, the 16F88 and the 16F883 – these ...
