• Microcontroller and Embedded Systems Using Assembly


and C for PIC 18, by Muhammad Ali Mazidi, Danny
Causey, Rolin McKinlay, MicroDigitalEd, 2nd edition.

4
Embedded System

5
Examples of Embedded Systems
• 20 MHz RAD6000 CPU, 128 MB of DRAM

6
Internal Organization of a Computer

7
Internal Block Diagram of a CPU

8
Microprocessor System Contrasted With Microcontroller System

• Microprocessor system: peripherals should be added


• Microcontroller system: integrates CPU and peripherals
on the same chip

Microcontroller = Microprocessor core + Memory + Peripherals

9
Embedded Systems
• Designed for a specific application
• Program is burned into ROM
• PC uses RAM and OS, runs a variety of applications
• Power vs. performance

10
Simplified View of a PIC Microcontroller
• Microchip Technology Corporation, introduced Peripheral
Interface Controller (PIC) in 1989
• PIC18, an 8-bit microcontroller
• One of the most popular microcontroller

11
WREG (Working Register)
• An 8-bit register
• Source and destination of arithmetic and logical instructions

• MOVLW a2h
• ADDLW 47h

• Largest value of WREG?

12
File Registers of PIC12, PIC16, and PIC18
• File register or data RAM
• Special Function Register (SFR)
• General Purpose Register/RAM (GPR)

13
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTER MAP FOR PIC18F87J11 FAMILY DEVICES

14
MOVWF & ADDWF
• MOVWF
• Copies WREG into file register

• ADDWF
• ADDWF filereg, D
• Destination: SFR or GPR
• D=0→destination=WREG, D=1→destination=file register

• Add 3 numbers?
• Destination
• WREG
• File Register

15
ADDWF
•D
• F for file register
• W for WREG
• The default is F

• ADDWF 23h, F
• ADDWF 23h, W

• Write a program that writes 01, 02, 04, ... On PORTA

16
COMF, DECF, MOVF
• COMFfilereg, D
• DECF filereg, D
• MOVF filereg, D

• Note: You cannot copy data directly to GP RAM. First


copy to WREG, then copy from WREG to GP RAM

17
MOVFF
• MOVFF filereg1, filereg2

18
Status Register
• C: affected by add & sub
• DC: carry from D3 to D4
• Refer to Table 2-4 in the textbook for the list of
instructions that affect status register

19
Branch instructions
• Conditional jump based on flags in status register
• BC
• BNC
• BZ
• BNZ
• BN
• BNN
• BOV
• BNOV

• Example: flashing light on PORTC
