Microchip PIC18F4520-I/P 8-Bit Flash Microcontroller DIP40

The Microchip PIC18F4520-I/P is an 8-bit Flash microcontroller delivering up to 10 MIPS in a 40-pin DIP package.

The PIC18F4520-I/P is an Enhanced Flash microcontroller featuring a 10-bit Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC) and nanoWatt technology. Built on a C compiler-optimised RISC core, it is designed for high-performance and power-sensitive applications, with features intended to reduce energy consumption during operation. Its architecture supports efficient processing for complex embedded tasks.

Key Features

An internal oscillator block generates multiple clock signals and can remove the need for external oscillator components on the OSC1 or OSC2 pins, which simplifies board design and reduces component count. The microcontroller is fully self-programmable under software control and supports In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP), allowing firmware updates through two lines for data and clock while installed in the end application.
