Library/Precompiled Object Overview
One Time Programmable. EPROM devices that are not in windowed packages. Since
EPROM needs ultraviolet light to erase its memory, only windowed devices are
erasable.
P
Pass Counter (MPLAB IDE v5.xx/v6.xx)
A counter that decrements each time an event (such as the execution of an instruction
at a particular address) occurs. When the pass count value reaches zero, the event is
satisfied. You can assign the Pass Counter to break and trace logic, and to any
sequential event in the complex trigger dialog.
PC
Personal Computer or Program Counter.
PC Host


Any IBM
or compatible Personal Computer running Windows
3.1x or

Windows 95/98, Windows NT
, or Windows 2000.

PICmicro
MCUs

PICmicro
microcontrollers (MCUs) refers to all Microchip microcontroller families.
PICSTART Plus Programmer

A device programmer from Microchip. Programs 8, 14, 28 and 40 pin PICmicro

microcontrollers. Must be used with MPLAB
IDE Software.
Pod (MPLAB ICE 2000)
The external emulator box that contains emulation memory, trace memory, event and
cycle timers and trace/breakpoint logic.
Power-on-Reset Emulation (MPLAB ICE 2000)
A software randomization process that writes random values in data RAM areas to
simulate uninitialized values in RAM upon initial power application.
Pragma (Compilers)
A standardized form of comment which has meaning to a compiler. It may use a special
syntax or a specific form within the normal comment syntax. A pragma usually conveys
non-essential information, often intended to help the compiler to optimize the program.
Precedence
The concept that some elements of an expression are evaluated before others;
(i.e., * and / before + and -). In MPASM assembler, 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 for emulation and simulation.
Program Memory
The memory area in a microcontroller where instructions are stored. Also, the 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.
