"Introduction To PIC MCU": AV-314 Digital Systems-Embedded System

This document provides an introduction to PIC microcontrollers (MCUs). It discusses the key differences between microprocessors and microcontrollers, with MCUs having CPU, memory, and I/O components integrated onto a single chip. The lecture objectives are to refresh the differences between MCUs and MPUs, and learn basics of PIC MCUs. Components of MCUs like CPU, memory, I/O, timers are described. Selection criteria for MCUs including pins, memory size, interfaces are covered. Popular MCU families like PIC, AVR, ARM are listed. Specific PIC variants and their characteristics are compared.

Microprocessor vs. Microcontroller
Microcontroller
Microprocessor
• CPU, RAM, ROM, I/O and timer are all on a
• CPU is stand-alone, RAM, single chip
• Fixed amount of on-chip ROM, RAM, I/O ports
ROM, I/O, timer are separate
• For applications in which cost, power and space
• Designer can decide on the are critical
amount of ROM, RAM and • Single-purpose (control-oriented)
I/O ports. • Low processing power
• Expensive • Low power consumption
• Bit-level operations
• Instruction sets focus on control and I/O
• General-purpose operations
• High processing power • Typically 8/16 bit
• High power consumption
• Instruction sets focus on
processing-intensive
operations
• Typically 32/64 – bit

Components of an MCU
• CPU: Central Processing Unit
• I/O: Input /Output
• Bus: Address bus & Data bus
• Memory: RAM & ROM
• Clock
• Timer
• Interrupt
• Serial Port
• Parallel Port

PIC Variants
• PIC16F887 – A reference device
– Have minimal instruction set but full range of peripheral
devices.
• Device selection
– Depends upon the features more closely matching the
application requirements
– can drop down to a lower range (PIC10/12 series).
– If more power is needed, can move up to a higher
specification chip (PIC18/24 series).
– Variation among PIC chips - Instruction size that may be
12, 14, or 16 bits.
