Very minor
difference in
syntax!!!

 REGISTER ADDRESSING SYNTAX
• How to move a data in any particular register of PIC???

MPLAB C-18 Mikro - C

Syntax: REGNAME = data; Same as MPLAB

e.g. TRISA = 0b10001011;

PORTC = 0xff;

14
 BIT ADDRESSING SYNTAX
• How to play with particular bit of PIC???

MPLAB C-18 Mikro - C

Syntax: REGNAMEbits.BITNAME = data; Syntax: REGNAME.BITNAME = data;

e.g. TRISAbits.TRISA0 = 0; e.g. TRISA.TRISA0 = 0;

PORTCbits.RC5 = 1; PORTC.RC5 = 1;
Syntax: REGNAMEbit#_bit=data;

e.g. LATA2_bit=1; //move 1 to bit#2 of LATA

Syntax: BITNAME_bit= data;

e.g. TMR0ON_bit=1; //set TMR0ON bit of T0CON reg

RA0_bit=1; // make RA0 =1
Syntax: REGNAME.Fn=data; REGNAME.Bn=data;

e.g. PORTA.F0=1; //move 1 to bit#0 of PORTA reg.

TRISB.F6=0; //move 0 to bit#6 of TRISB reg.
INTCON.B3=1; //move 1 to bit#3 of INTCON reg. 15
 In Mikro-C following all commands does same operation

PORTA.RA2=1;
PORTA.F2=1;
PORTA.B2=1; They all
are same
PORTA2_bit=1;
RA2_bit=1;
