Microchip PIC32 入門(1)--PIC32介紹

前言

   目前32位元通用型MCU大多數採用ARM授權的Cortex-M系列(Cortex-M0/Cortex-M3/Cortex-M4)以及Cortex-R(Cortex-R4/Cortex-R4F),除了少數公司有能力推出自己的32位元通運型MCU(如Atmel AVR32,TI的C2000系列).另一部分就是採用MIPS授權的IP。其中目前microchip購買來自MIPS M4K核心所推出的32bit MCU效能與性價比非常高。目前我也在使用這個系列MCU作一些開發專案。效能來說Cortex-M3為1.25MIPS/MHz,而PIC32為1.56MIPS/MHz.在他核心頻率為80MHz時可提供125MIPS性能。且高達128KB SRAM與512KB Flash對於一些大型系統甚至於嵌入式圖形都綽綽有餘。我將會提供一系列基於PIC32 PLIB以及Microchip C32 Compiler為基礎的入門開發


參考書籍:Programming 32bit Microcontrollers in C exploring PIC32,非常好的一本書.建議可以去閱讀
