February 18, 2002 innovation
award for unique icon-based assembler Winning work showcased at World IT Congress February 2002 elabtronics
of Adelaide, Australia, a registered Microchip Technology
consultant, has received an innovation award for its work in
developing CoreChart (bitset technology), a new and unique icon-based assembler supporting
the Company’s PICmicro®
Flash microcontrollers. The
CoreChart assembler allows microcontroller designers to
program with greater ease and efficiency.
Because of its unique architecture, CoreChart can
maintain dense code generation and a 1-to-1 translation of
icon to lines of code. CoreChart has been selected as a winner in the Smartcard category for the Secrets
of Australian IT Innovation competition.
Following a rigorous judging process, the judges have
selected a total of 37 winners from a very strong field of
more than 220 applications. In honour of this achievement, CoreChart is being
presented to delegates attending the World Congress on IT
2002, which will be held from February 25 to 1 March 1, 2002
in Adelaide, Australia. “We are very
happy to have elabtronics
as a Microchip registered consultant.
Developing the innovative CoreChart technology and
winning this prestigious award demonstrates their strong
support for Microchip and our products,” said Leon Hubby,
Director of Worldwide Applications and Programs for Microchip. “CoreChart will
make it easier for users with no prior microcontroller
experience to use the PICmicro® Flash
microcontrollers,” said Tom Bianchi, district sales manager
at Microchip Technology Australia.
“Students will particularly find this tool
helpful.” At
present, CoreChart replicates all of the instructions
available in the PIC16F84 and PIC16F877 Flash microcontroller
instruction sets. It
utilizes windows and drop-down menus in which all the
information contained in an assembly instruction can be
entered and implemented on variables and literals. The
assembler features subroutine and interrupt support and quick
switching between subroutines using the dropdown list.
In addition, it supports the easy downloading of
programs into elabtronics elab628 and elab877
development boards. For
