PIC is the prefix of the single-chip series product model produced by Microsoft chip. The hardware system design of the PIC Series single-chip microcomputer is concise, and the instruction system design is refined. Among all single-chip microcomputer varieties, it is one of the most easy-to-learn and easy-to-use single-chip microcomputer varieties. For beginners of single-chip microcomputer, if you choose PIC single-chip microcomputer as the "breakthrough" to attack the single-chip microcomputer kingdom, it will be the easiest shortcut, and will certainly get twice the result with half the effort.
The above passage is from "Practical tutorial of PIC Single-Chip Microcomputer-basic articles". This teaching material was strongly recommended to me by my senior engineer at study 2. I would like to thank him very much, this book leads me to get started. The hardware system of the PIC Series single-chip microcomputer is very easy to learn. Because it is based on the RISC technology, its instruction set only has 35 commands in the zone, which is easy to learn, remember and remember. In contrast, the MCS-51 microcontroller command system has a total of 111 commands. The introduction in this book is mainly aimed at the 8-Bit Microcontroller PIC16F877 of the mid-range Microchip Company, which has the on-chip (On-Chip) EEPROM data storage and flashProgramMemory, which can realize in-circuit debugging and In-circuit serial programming. With the help of the Economic online debugger (MPLAB-ICD) specially designed for pic16f87x series single chip microcomputer, you can easily burn and write programs and modify programs in the process of programming and debugging.
