Square 1 Electronics' latest new book, "Mov'n Up, Migrating from the PIC® Microcontroller 16 Series to the 18 Series," contains information on the 18 Series devices which have some features that make them easier to use. Program memory paging is gone, so tables may be of any length and may be located anywhere. Data memory bank selection is simplified. Compare, bit toggle and set file instructions make writing programs easier. Context saving on interrupt is automatic (sometimes). The newer application peripherals (CAN bus, etc.) are in the 18 Series devices. "Mov'n Up" will save you a lot of time by providing an explanation of the fundamental differences (vs. 16 Series), along with programming examples, to make the transition easier. The complete table of contents follows:
