PICmicro MCUs
PICmicro microcontrollers (MCUs) refers to all Microchip microcontroller
families.
PICSTART Plus
A device programmer from Microchip. Programs 8-, 14-, 28- and 40-pin
PICmicro microcontrollers. Must be used with MPLAB Software.
Pod
The external emulator box that contains emulation memory, trace memory,
event and cycle timers, and trace/breakpoint logic.
Power-on-Reset Emulation
A software randomization process that writes random values in data RAM
areas to simulate uninitialized values in RAM upon initial power application.
Precedence
The concept that some elements of an expression are evaluated before
others, (i.e., * and / before + and -). In MPASM, operators of the same
precedence are evaluated from left to right. Use parentheses to alter the order
of evaluation.
Program Counter
A register that specifies the current execution address.
Program Memory
The memory area in a PICmicro microcontroller where instructions are stored.
Memory in the emulator or simulator containing the downloaded target
application firmware.
Programmer
A device used to program electrically programmable semiconductor devices
such as microcontrollers.
Project
A set of source files and instructions to build the object and executable code
for an application.
PRO MATE
A device programmer from Microchip. Programs all PICmicro microcontrollers
®
and most memory and K
L
devices. Can be used with MPLAB IDE or
EE
OQ
stand-alone.
Prototype System
A term referring to a user’s target application or target board.
