Architecture and Programming of PSoC Microcontrollers

Free online book by mikroElektronika

Architecture and Programming of PSoC Microcontrollers, book cover Appearance of PSoC microcontrollers made many engineers’ dream come true about having all their project needs covered in one chip. PSoC microcontrollers represent a whole new concept in microcontroller development. With its programmable blocks, PSoC introduced a whole new concept of customizable implementation of peripherals.

“Architecture and Programming of PSoC Microcontrollers” is supposed to be an introductory course to the PSoC, with practical approach, and plenty of real world examples. Note that this online book is a work in progress, which may change without prior notice.

Table of Contents

  • Chapter 1: Introduction to PSoC Microcontrollers
    Chapter 1 introduces the internal architecture of PSoC microcontroller, address spaces, and the way the hardware is visualized by an assembler program. Also, we’ll cover the most important internal registers, ports, MAC unit, interrupt registers, and ROM.

  • Chapter 2: PSoC Designer
    PSoC Designer is all the software you’ll need for programming PSoC microcontrollers. It consists of three parts, which will be discussed in detail: Device Editor, selection of programmable blocks; Interconnection View, setting and interconnecting blocks; Application Editor, writing assembler or C program.

  • Chapter 3: Quick Start
    Beginning is usually the hardest part of any task. Thus, it would be very useful to create a complete, working program at this point. In this chapter, we’ll write an example which makes a LED blink continually.

  • Chapter 4: Assembly Language with Instruction Set
    Here, basic assembly instructions for M8C microcontroller will be discussed, along with the ways of addressing, constant representation, and other things necessary for writing an assembler program.
