Microchip has upped the security of a family of PIC18 microcontrollers by adding a one-time disable to its programming and debugging interface. Called PDID (programming and debugging interface disable ...

In previous installments, we examined the different types of logic gates in detail, exploring their theoretical and practical applications. In this next part, we will dive into the practice of ...

The microcontroller’s CPU reads program code from memory, one instruction at a time, decodes each instruction, and then executes it. All memory content—both program code and data—is in binary form: ...
