Interfacing PIC Microcontrollers

I/O operations and fewer calculations, assembler is generally faster and more

compact. C and assembler can be mixed in the same program to retain the

advantages of both.

SUMMARY 2

• The standard development system consists of a source code editor, assem-

bler, simulator and programmer

• Machine code instructions can be broken down into operation and operand

• Programs should be well commented and structured for ease of analysis

and debugging

• Assembler directives can be used to improve the efficiency and flexibility

of code production

1 Describe the advantages of in-circuit programming and debugging over the

corresponding conventional dev
