As embedded microcontrollers reach into all corners of modern life, many applications can benefit from coin-cell battery power. Some benefits are reduced product size and cost, enhanced design simplicity, portability, and electrical isolation. Microchip Technology, the number one supplier of 8-bit microcontrollers in the world, is using their nanoWatt Technology features to achieve these benefits.

This book explores how these features impact the design process. It employs the Qwik&Low board shown on the cover as the learning vehicle for the reader. The board is available as Microchip Technology's Part No. DM183034. For purchase information, see http://www.qwikandlow.com/purchase/

This book introduces the reader to code writing for a microcontroller via a series of template files and using Microchip's free version of their C compiler for their PIC18 family of microcontrollers. Free supporting tools are available at the author's website, www.qwikandlow.com , including QwikBug, a debugging user interface for downloading code to the Qwik&Low board, running that code, and debugging it using a serial PC connection (via either a serial cable or a USB-to-serial adapter).

Coin-Cell-Powered Embedded Design is a college text for junior/senior computer engineering students and for practicing engineers. The book develops low-power design techniques using a Microchip Technology PIC18LF4321 nanoWatt Technology™ general purpose microcontroller.
A series of template programs fosters code development in C for both the novice and the experienced programmer, compiled with Microchip Technology’s free version of their C18 compiler. The low-cost Qwik&Low board shown on the book cover serves as a target system and includes QwikBug, a built-in debugging interface requiring only a serial cable or a USB-to-serial adapter to a PC
