Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC)

To know a much more detailed basic of PIC, click on the links below TAKE A LOOK : INTRODUCTION TO PIC TAKE A LOOK : BASICS OF MICROCNTROLLERS Introduction to Peripheral Interface Controllers (PIC) Peripheral Interface Controllers (PIC) is one of the advanced microcontrollers developed by microchip technologies. These microcontrollers are widely used in modern electronics applications.  A PIC controller integrates all type of advanced interfacing ports and memory modules. These controllers are more advanced than normal microcontroller like INTEL 8051. The first PIC chip was announced in 1975 (PIC1650). As like normal microcontroller, the   PIC   chip also combines a …

Basics of Microcontrollers

Microcontrollers This post is the continuation of the post INTRODUCTION TO PIC. Microcontroller is a single chip micro computer made through VLSI fabrication. A microcontroller also called an embedded controller because the microcontroller and its support circuits are often built into, or embedded in, the devices they control. A microcontroller is available in different word lengths like microprocessors (4bit,8bit,16bit,32bit,64bit and 128 bit microcontrollers are available today). You can find microcontrollers in all kinds of electronic devices these days. Any device that measures, stores, controls, calculates, or displays information must have a microcontroller chip inside. The largest single use for microcontrollers…
