Programming Microcontrollers in C

Ted VanSickle9781878707574, 1878707574

Microcontrollers are used in automobiles, machine control systems, home appliances-in almost any application where there is some internal intelligence system. This practical tutorial reviews the essentials of C programming for microcontrollers and examines in detail the issues faced when writing C code. Geared toward embedded system designers, the book teaches how to write high-level C programming code, maximize performance, and use some of the popular microcontrollers in real-world applications. Included is a CD-ROM for Windows containing all C code used in the book, compilers for popular microcontrollers, and a fully searchable electronic version of the book. Includes CD-ROM.
