HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family ANSI C COMPILER v9.60PL3: Based on the reliable PICC STD compiler, and supporting Microchip's PIC10/12/14/16 series of MCUs, the HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family which comes with Omniscient Code Generation™ (OCG) - as featured in EDN Hot 100 Products of 2007.

OCG extracts information from multiple source files simultaneously, allowing more intelligent state-of-the-art code generation that can deliver up to 2X the code density, 80% better RAM utilization and 40-60% faster interupts than other compilers.

  • Optimizes the size of each pointer variable in your code based on its usage;
  • Reduces overhead required for interrupt context switching;
  • Removes unused functions and variables;
  • Automatically handles memory banking without requiring special qualifiers;
  • Automatically analyzes user assembly and object code files;
  • Elimates the need for many non-standard C qualifiers and compiler options; and
  • Automatically detects and implements printf features required by program and eliminates unused features

This all means you can spend less time worrying about device memory requirements and compiler-specific semantics and more time focusing on your goals.

HI-TECH Satisfaction Guarantee:
HI-TECH Software offers a 30 day money back guarantee. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with our product, simply contact us and we'll refund the purchase price.

 

PICC STD

PICC ANSI C Compiler HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family customers are also entitled to the current version of the PICC STD at time of purchase. HI-TECH Priority Access (included with purchase of HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family) will also apply for the PICC STD compiler.

 

Integrated Development Environment

HI-TIDE 3, a powerful development environment including full project management, a flexible editor and a fast, accurate simulator, provides a fully-featured front end to the HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family.

Optionally, the compiler may be run directly from the command line, allowing you to compile, assemble and link using one command. This enables the compiler to be integrated into third party development environments, such as the MPLAB® IDE from Microchip Technology, Inc.

HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family is fully supported in the MPLAB IDE as a standard toolset. For additional information and a detailed guide for integrating Microchip's MPLAB environment with the HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC10/12/16 MCU Family, please click here.
