The CCS C Compiler was developed exclusively for the PIC® MCU - making it the most optimized compiler for Microchip parts.
The compiler has a generous library of built-in functions, preprocessor commands, and ready-to-run example programs to quickly jump-start any project. Drivers for real-time clocks, LCDs, A/D converters, and many more are innate features to the CCS C Compiler. The 24-bit compiler - PCD makes for easy migration from 8-bit processors up to 24-bit processors with minimal user interaction. PCD has a generous CCS math function library, Flash access functions and the full range of common built-in functions and preprocessor commands that emphasize the need for a C compiler.

Low cost bare bones command-line compilers are available for both Windows and Linux. Use the stand-alone compiler with
a text editor. A plug-in is available for MPLAB® IDE.
For professional use, a powerful IDE is packaged with compilers for editing, debugging, and much more in Windows. Click here to learn more about the features of the Windows
IDE, such as a powerful C Aware Real-time Debugger, RTOS, and a New
Project Wizard for peripherals and drivers.
CCS offers a wide variety of all-inclusive Development Kits that bring hardware and software together to provide an innovative package of development tools. The CCS Development Kit allows engineers to design, develop, implement, and test applications directly on PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs. Novices and experienced developers alike save both time and money with the CCS Development Kits without a need to buy any additional equipment. Click Here for more information.

 The compiler includes built-in functions to access the PIC® MCU hardware, such as read_adc() to read a value from the A/D converter. Functions such as input() and output_high() will poperly maintain the tri-state registers. Variables including structures may be directly mapped to memory such as I/O ports to best represent the hardware structure in C. For PIC10/PIC12/PIC14/PIC16/PIC18 syntax and functions, click here. For PIC24/dsPIC® compiler syntax and functions, click here.

 IDE compiler capabilities include many utilities to aid in program design and editing. IDE compilers include the command-line compilers and additional IDE Utilities. Features of the IDE include a color syntax editor, a powerful C Aware Real-time Debugger, RTOS, linker, and a New Project Wizard for peripherals and drivers.
