MICROCHIP PIC16F716 8-Bit Flash Microcontroller, DIP18

The MICROCHIP PIC16F716-I/P is a high-performance, 8-bit Flash-based microcontroller, offering a robust and versatile solution for embedded control applications. Its powerful RISC CPU executes instructions in just 200 nanoseconds, while maintaining ease of programming with only 35 single-word instructions, ensuring efficient development. This CMOS device is fully upward compatible with the PIC16C5X and PIC12FXXX family of microcontrollers.

A standout feature is the integrated 4-channel, 8-bit Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC), which allows the conversion of analogue input signals into an 8-bit binary representation. The analogue inputs are multiplexed into a single sample-and-hold circuit, connected to the converter, which uses successive approximation to generate results stored in the ADC result register (ADRES). This capability is complemented by two additional timers and an enhanced capture/compare/PWM function, expanding its utility in timing and motor control applications.
