GETTING STARTED
Glossary
A
absolute section
A section with a fixed address that cannot be changed by the linker.
access memory
Special general purpose registers on the PIC18 PICmicro microcontrollers that allow
access regardless of the setting of the bank select register (BSR).
address
The code that identifies where a piece of information is stored in memory.
anonymous structure
An unnamed object.
ANSI
American National Standards Institute
assembler
A language tool that translates assembly source code into machine code.
assembly
A symbolic language that describes the binary machine code in a readable form.
assigned section
A section that has been assigned to a target memory block in the linker command file.
asynchronously
Multiple events that do not occur at the same time. This is generally used to refer to
interrupts that may occur at any time during processor execution.
B
binary
The base two numbering system that uses the digits 0-1. The right-most digit counts
2
ones, the next counts multiples of 2, then 2
= 4, etc.
C
central processing unit
The part of a device that is responsible for fetching the correct instruction for
execution, decoding that instruction and then executing that instruction. When
necessary, it works in conjunction with the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) to complete the
execution of the instruction. It controls the program memory address bus, the data
memory address bus and accesses to the stack.
