Chapter 2

Hardware

Abstract

This chapter provides a broad introduction to the PIC32 hardware, including the overall architecture and the relationship of the MIPS CPU to onboard data RAM, program flash memory, the various system clocks, and the special function registers that control many peripherals. Peripherals include USB, CAN, Ethernet, digital input and output, counter/timers, pulse-width modulation, input capture, SPI, I2C, UART, the parallel master port, comparators, and the analog-to-digital converter. This chapter also introduces the PIC32 memory model and the physical memory map. It concludes with details of the NU32 development board and how it breaks out the pins of the PIC32.
