MICROCHIP PIC12F675 8-bit Flash Microcontroller, DIP-8

The MICROCHIP PIC12F675-I/P is a versatile, flash-based 8-bit CMOS microcontroller housed in a compact 8-pin DIP package. It features 6 individually controllable I/O pins with high current sink/source capability, making it ideal for direct LED drive applications. This powerful microcontroller integrates key analogue functions, including an analogue comparator module and a 4-channel, 10-bit analogue-to-digital converter module.

A major advantage is its in-circuit serial programming (ICSP™) capability via two pins, facilitating easy updates and development. It boasts high endurance memory cells with 100,000 write cycles for flash and 1,000,000 for data EEPROM, ensuring long-term data retention of over 40 years. With 1024 words of flash program memory, 64 bytes of SRAM, and 128 bytes of EEPROM, it offers substantial on-chip resources.

Core Features:

• Simplified Programming: Only 35 instructions to learn, with all being single-cycle except for branches.
• Robust Architecture: Features interrupt capability, an 8-level deep hardware stack, and direct, indirect, and relative addressing modes.
• Reliable Operation: Includes a precision internal 4MHz oscillator factory calibrated to ±1%, a wide operating voltage range from 2.0V to 5.5V, brown-out detection, and a watchdog timer with an independent oscillator.
• Power Management: Incorporates low-power power-on reset, power-up timer, and oscillator start-up timer for efficient operation.

Packaged in an 8-pin PDIP format, it is designed for through-hole mounting and operates reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. This makes the PIC12F675 an excellent, cost-effective solution for a wide array of embedded control applications.
