4.5 PERIPHERAL LIBRARIES

PIC32 MCUs integrate a large number of on-chip high-performance peripherals.

To accelerate the usage of these peripherals, the MPLAB C32 compiler for PIC32

includes software peripheral libraries compatible with the 16-bit Microchip MCUs. The

peripheral libraries are distributed in source and object format along with a detailed API

description document. Software applications using MPLAB C32 compiler may call

peripheral library functions by simply including the appropriate header file in their

source files – the MPLAB C32 compiler has built-in knowledge of library header and

archive files.

The peripheral include files are located in C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB

C32\pic32mx\include\peripheral and the full source code is located in

C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB C32\pic32-libs\peripheral loca-

tion in corresponding peripheral sub-directory.

The Peripheral Library contains following include files:
