Microcontrollers : High-Performance Systems and Programming

This book focuses on high-performance microcontrollers and on the digital signal processors offered by Microchip. In addition to their enhanced features, extended peripherals, and improved performance, several practical factors make the high-performance PIC series a better choice than their mid-range predecessors for most systems. However, one consideration sometimes mentioned in favor of mid-range devices is the abundance of published application circuits and code samples; this book attempts to correct this. It is a continuation of Embedded Systems Circuits and Programming by the same authors.
