Interfacing PIC Microcontrollers: Embedded Design by Interactive Simulation
Interfacing PIC Microcontrollers, 2nd Edition is a great introductory text for those starting out in this field and as a source reference for more experienced engineers. Martin Bates has drawn upon 20 years of experience of teaching microprocessor systems to produce a book containing an excellent balance of theory and practice with numerous working examples throughout.
It provides comprehensive coverage of basic microcontroller system interfacing using the latest interactive software, Proteus VSM, which allows real-time simulation of microcontroller based designs and supports the development of new applications from initial concept to final testing and deployment.
- Comprehensive introduction to interfacing 8-bit PIC microcontrollers
- Designs updated for current software versions MPLAB v8 & Proteus VSM v8
- Additional applications in wireless communications, intelligent sensors and more
Why Read This Book
You will get a pragmatic, example-driven introduction to interfacing 8-bit PIC microcontrollers, with step‑by‑step projects that move from basic I/O to ADCs, serial communications and common sensors/actuators. The book’s emphasis on Proteus VSM simulation lets you prototype and debug circuits and firmware virtually before you touch hardware, speeding learning and reducing trial-and-error.
Who Will Benefit
Best suited for students, hobbyists, and junior-to-intermediate embedded engineers who need practical guidance on PIC16/18‑class microcontrollers and want to learn interfacing and simulation workflows without jumping straight into complex RTOS or ARM platforms.
