Microchip 8Bit Flash MCU, 16F88, DIP18

The Microchip PIC16F88-I/P is an enhanced flash microcontroller with nanoWatt technology, designed for advanced analogue and integrated level applications. This 8-bit MCU combines a rich set of peripherals, including a capture/compare/PWM module, an addressable USART, and a synchronous serial port configurable as either SPI™ or I²C™, making it highly suitable for automotive, industrial, appliance, and consumer applications.

Featuring an 8MHz internal oscillator, 7168 bytes of flash program memory, 368 bytes of SRAM, and 256 bytes of EEPROM, this device offers flexible memory options for your designs. It also includes 7 channels of 10-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter and two comparators, ensuring accurate analogue measurements. With its low-power modes, including sleep mode at 0.1µA and RC-RUN at 7µA, the PIC16F88 is ideal for power-sensitive applications.
