MICROCHIP 8-Bit Flash Microcontroller DIP8

The MICROCHIP 8-Bit Flash Microcontroller offers robust performance packed into a compact 8-pin DIP package. Featuring an easy-to-program architecture with only 35 single-word instructions, this CMOS flash-based microcontroller is designed for efficiency and versatility. It includes a 1-channel comparator and 128 bytes of EEPROM data memory, partitioned into two banks containing general purpose and special function registers.

This microcontroller boasts a variety of advanced features to support complex operations. These include 4 oscillator selections—featuring a 4MHz RC oscillator with programmable calibration and power-on reset—alongside an 8-level deep hardware stack and multiple addressing modes (direct, indirect, and relative). For power management, it incorporates a power-saving sleep mode, a low-power power-on reset (POR), a power-up timer (PWRT), and an oscillator start-up timer (OST). Reliability is enhanced by a Watchdog timer (WDT) with an independent oscillator and individual programmable weak pull-ups.
