Summary of PIC18F452 LED Blinking Code and Proteus Simulation
This article provides LED blinking code for the PIC18F452, compiled with MPLAB and HI-TECH C, plus a Proteus simulation and downloadable project files. It uses a 10 MHz crystal with the PIC18F452's PLL to run at 40 MHz internal clock, yielding 10 MIPS (one instruction per 4 cycles). The article includes circuit diagram, compilation/simulation details, and a download link for the complete code and Proteus model.Parts used in the PIC18F452 LED Blinking Project:
- PIC18F452 microcontroller
- 10 MHz crystal
- Capacitors for crystal (typically 18pF each)
- LED(s)
- Current-limiting resistor(s) for LED(s)
- Power supply (Vcc and GND)
- Optional pull-up or reset components (MCLR circuitry)
- Proteus simulation files (software component)
- MPLAB and HI-TECH C compiled code (software component)
In this project a crystal of 10MHz is used with PIC18F452. This crystal frequency is fed into PLL of PIC18F452, which boosts it to 40MHz. As we know that any PIC micro controller has an architecture which executes an instruction in 4 CPU cycles, hence this 10Mhz crystal + PLL makes this PIC run at 10MIPS (Million of instructions per second). The code for this project is shown below.
