PICmicro® Microcontroller Pocket Reference

My wife always shakes her head when she comes down into my work room and sees all the different books that I need to develop a Microchip PICmicro® microcontroller application. Along with Microchip PICmicro MCU datasheets, I usually have a table littered with various books like Programming and Customizing PICmicro® Microcontrollers, the TTL data book for Design engineers, "The C Programming Language", a PC technical reference and the list goes on and on. What I needed was a single book that contained most of the basic information that could provide the information needed to develop PICmicro MCU applications.

The PICmicro® Microcontroller Pocket Reference summarizes virtually all the reference information that is required by the new and experienced PICmicro MCU application developer. All four PICmicro MCU familes (the low-end (PIC12C50X, PIC16C505 and PIC16C5X), the mid-range(PIC16CXXX and PIC16F8XX), PIC17CXX and PIC18CXX2) are represented with practical information on the various devices along with interfacing examples and sample code that you can use in your own applications.

There is also quite a bit of programming reference information that you can use. Along with summaries of each PICmicro MCU processor's instruction set (with explanations of how each instruction works), I have included reference information on:

• Microchip's MPLAB®
• The BASIC Language including reference information on meLab's "PicBasic"
• The C Language
• Device Programming

This pocket reference book tips the scales at over 700 pages - it is comprehensive and I am sure it will help to cut down on the paper clutter when you are developing your own PICmicro MCU applications.
