Editorials

From the Publisher

"Van Sickle's book will quickly pay for itself. . ."
—Dr. Dobb's Journal

"The book covers the essentials of C, programming actual microcontrollers, and discusses real world examples as well as theoretical models."
—Embedded Systems Programming Product News

"A must-read for engineers trying to get a handle on software issues . . . I get a constant stream of queries for introductory texts to the embedded-systems world. This is the book. It should be required reading even in computer curriculum, where embedded systems get virtually no mention."
—EDN

From The Critics

Programming Microcontrollers In C is a "user friendly" compendium of solid information on the use of C to fully exploit the power of today's microcontrollers. Beginning with an excellent tutorial on C basics, the reader is introduced to microcontrollers with descriptions of their programming environment and tips on coding for microcontrollers. Expert Ted Van Sickle then goes on to describe techniques for obtaining maximum performance from code; the differences between 8-bit and larger microcontrollers (giving application examples and providing details on using different compilers); advanced information for programming embedded systems and RISC microcontrollers (using Motorola's MCORE as the example). Programming Microcontrollers In C offers a great many useful C routines and the accompanying CD-ROM. contains all of the software referenced in the text, as well as C compilers, a full set of Motorola's microcontroller documentation in hyperlinked PDF format, and a fully searchable Deluxe eBook version of the text. The latest title in LLH Technology Publishing's "Embedded Technology" series, Programming Microcontrollers In C is a very highly recommended and invaluable addition to the dedicated programmer's reference shelf.
