Definition of Embedded Systems
• Embedded system: is a system whose
principal function is not computational,
but which is controlled by a computer
embedded within it.

PIC Microcontrollers
• Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) was
originally designed by General Instruments
• In the late 1970s, GI introduced PIC® 1650 and
1655 – RISC with 30 instructions.
• PIC was sold to Microchip
• Features: low-cost, self-contained, 8-bit,
Harvard structure, pipelined, RISC, single
accumulator, with fixed reset and interrupt
vectors.

PIC Families
PIC Family Stack Size Instruction No of Interrupt
Word Size Instructions Vectors
12CX/12FX 2 12- or 14-bit 33 None
16C5X/16F5X 2 12-bit 33 None
16CX/16FX 8 14-bit 35 1
17CX 16 16-bit 58 4
18CX/18FX 32 16-bit 75 2

‘C’ implies CMOS technology; Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor

‘F’ insert indicates incorporation of Flash memory technology

Example: 16C84 was the first of its kind. It was later reissued as the 16F84,
incorporating Flash memory technology. It was then reissued as 16F84A.

Summary
• An embedded system is a product that has one or more computers
embedded within it, which exercise primarily a control function.
• The embedded computer is usually a microcontroller: a microprocessor
adapted for embedded control applications.
• Microcontrollers are designed according to accepted electronic and
computer principles, and are fundamentally made up of microprocessor
core, memory and peripherals.
• Microchip offers a wide range of microcontrollers, divided into a number of
different families. Each family has identical central architecture and
instruction set. However, common features also appear across all their
microcontrollers.
• The Microchip 12F508 is a good microcontroller to introduce a range of
features of microcontrollers in general and of PIC microcontrollers in
particular.
