MICROCHIP PIC16F690 8-bit Microcontroller, 7KB Flash, 256 Byte RAM, SOIC20

The MICROCHIP PIC16F690-I/SO is a versatile 8-bit, 20-pin Flash-based CMOS microcontroller built on the reliable mid-range x14 architecture. It incorporates advanced nanoWatt technology for exceptional power efficiency, making it ideal for applications where low power consumption is critical.

This microcontroller operates across a wide voltage range of 2 to 5.5V and features 7KB of programme memory and 256 bytes of RAM. Its robust peripheral set includes 12 channels of 10-bit Analogue-to-Digital (A/D) conversion, an analogue comparator, a programmable on-chip voltage reference, and an Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP+) module with advanced features like dead band delay and auto-shutdown.

Key Features

• Power Management: Features nanoWatt technology, a power-saving sleep mode, and multiple reset options (Power-on Reset, Brown-out Reset) for reliable and efficient operation.
• Rich Connectivity: Supports multiple communication protocols including EUSART (LIN 2.0 compatible), SPI (SSP), and I²C™ with address mask option.
• Development Support: Offers MPLAB® ICD 2 programming and debugging support with an optional header adapter, streamlining the development process.
• Robust Design: Includes an extended Watchdog Timer (WDT), programmable code protection, and a multiplexed master clear/input pin for enhanced system security and control.

The flexible oscillator module supports various clock sources, allowing developers to balance performance and power consumption precisely for their specific application needs. Housed in a compact SOIC package, it is designed for surface-mount assembly and is qualified to AEC-Q100 standards for automotive use.
