Can Keil C be used for PIC MCU?

Ryan Han

Dear All Expert,

I am thinking of programming a PIC MCU for my application as it uses 3V supply which can be power up with 2xAAA batteries. I am using Keil C uVision4 and therefore would like to know any user of PIC had already written the assoicated SFR in a <PIC.h> file. Is it possible to provide me with this file as I am totally new to PIC. Should you have a simple interrupt enabled routine and go_to_sleep routine, it will be great if you can share.

My application need to be low power during sleep and will only wake up through external interrupt. I need 4 external interrupts and a RS232 serial communication for my PIC and DIL package is preferred. Anyone had any recommendation on the model number to use?

Thanks a lot for all your advise. Have a good day ahead.

    This MSP430 device is in charge to decode Low-Frequency signal. The FAE knows this. 23 ms lockup could be considered as 23 bits loss.

    since many embedded designs can sleep the processor for 99% or more, it can matter a lot to go all the way down to the deepest power mode, potentially turning off the core and RAM power and not just stopping the clocks.

    Per, thanks for your explanation.

    I would do something for my MSP430 project to (try to) reduce power consumption; and would ignore issues that I can not handle. For those traditional PIC products, I would stay away from them.
