PIC'n Up The Pace is an intermediate level applications  guide covering Microchip Technology's PIC Microcontrollers. Serial  communication as a means of transferring data between PIC's and  peripheral chips and also between two or more PIC's is described.  Use  of the 93C46 serial EEPROM is detailed as an example.  Since we live  in an analog world, A/D and D/A are discussed with several methods  illustrated for each.  Conditioning signals from sensors with an  analog voltage output is described.  Interfacing PIC controlled  systems with humans requires some math, binary to decimal conversion  and vice versa, alphanumeric LCD intefacing and scanning keypads.  Single wire serial communication with a PIC-controlled LCD module  which can be built by the reader is included.  A digital thermometer  example projects brings these topics together as an example.  Finally,  PIC16C84/PIC16F84 data EEPROM memory, program memory paging and  locating tables in program memory are discussed.    ''PIC'n Up The Pace'' gives the reader the tools to design and build  intermediate microcontroller-based instrumentation and systems.
