Code Optimizing C Compiler

for Microchip PIC® and dsPIC® DSCs

Accelerate product development with CCS

(What is an "IDE") ?

Benefits of a C Compiler

CCS provides a complete integrated tool suite for developing and debugging embedded applications running on Microchip PIC^® MCUs and dsPIC^® DSCs. The heart of this development tools suite is the CCS intelligent code optimizing C compiler which frees developers to concentrate on design functionality instead of having to become an MCU architecture expert.

Maximize code reuse by easily porting from one MCU to another. Device Support
Minimize lines of new code with CCS provided peripheral drivers, built-in functions and standard C operators
Built-in functions are specific to PIC^® MCU registers, allowing access to hardware features directly from C

Ready to run examples and tested peripheral drivers allow developers to quickly start their project. To learn more about our C compiler, check out the compiler details and view the CCS Compiler Quick Start Video Tutorial.

The C Aware IDE is an ideal environment to create C source code with integrated built-in functions, analyze it's performance, and debug the compiled code in real-time while running on Microchip devices.

Key C Aware IDE Components:

Project manager
C-Aware text editor
Compilation control to completely or partially build projects
Utilities for file comparison, numeric conversion, disassembly, parametric device selection and more
C-Source code level in-circuit debugger
Output file viewers for list files, symbol maps, call trees, etc.
Documentation creation tools

The CCS C Compiler has complementary development tools that work seamlessly with the compiler. Program, debug, and data stream from one environment that may be used for development and production.

C Compiler Products

Flexible product configurations enable you to purchase only what you need now, and later add on additional family support and product features as you need them. Unlike compilers from other tool providers, all CCS compiler products offer the same high level of code optimization. The C Aware IDE is available in three levels of family support and individual command line compilers are available for each Microchip family.

CCS also offers software maintenance to keep your software running at peak performance, software upgrades and additional user licenses. Click here to learn more about these products.
