Microchip PIC12F683 8-Bit Flash Microcontroller DIP8

The Microchip PIC12F683 8-Bit Flash Microcontroller is a compact, high-performance 8-bit flash-based device with 3.5 KB of programme memory, supplied in an 8-pin DIP package.

Overview

Built with nanoWatt technology and the mid-range x14 architecture, this microcontroller suits embedded control applications where minimal space and low power consumption are required. It operates across a voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V and has a maximum operating frequency of 20 MHz.

Memory and Data Storage

The device includes 3.5 KB of programme memory, 128 bytes of RAM and 256 bytes of EEPROM data memory for flexible data storage.

Analogue and Timing Peripherals

• Four channels of 10-bit Analogue-to-Digital Conversion (ADC)
• An analogue comparator with a programmable on-chip voltage reference
• A Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) module for timing and waveform generation

Low Power and System Protection

The microcontroller offers a power-saving sleep mode with a typical standby current of 50 nA at 2.0 V. System protection features include Power-on Reset (POR), Power-up Timer (PWRT), Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) and Brown-out Reset (BOR) with software control. An extended Watchdog Timer (WDT) helps support system integrity, drawing a typical current of 1 µA at 2.0 V.

Development and Architecture

Programming and debugging are supported via MPLAB ICD-2 with an optional header adapter. The architecture includes an 8-level deep hardware stack, interrupt capability, and direct, indirect and relative addressing modes. Additional features include multiplexed master clear with pull-up/input pin and programmable code protection for secure applications.
