Microchip PIC12F683 8-Bit Flash Microcontroller, DIP8

The Microchip PIC12F683-I/P is a compact, high-performance 8-bit flash-based microcontroller built with nanoWatt technology. Its 8-pin DIP package integrates the robust mid-range x14 architecture, making it an efficient and versatile choice for embedded control applications requiring minimal space and power.

This microcontroller operates across a wide voltage range of 2.0V to 5.5V and includes 3.5KB of program memory, 128 bytes of RAM, and 256 bytes of EEPROM data memory for flexible data storage. It features a suite of standard analogue peripherals, including four channels of 10-bit Analogue-to-Digital Conversion (ADC), an analogue comparator with a programmable on-chip voltage reference, and a Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) module for timing and waveform generation.

Designed for reliability and low power consumption, it offers a power-saving sleep mode with a typical standby current of just 50nA at 2.0V. Robust system protection is provided by features such as Power-on Reset (POR), Power-up Timer (PWRT), Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), and a Brown-out Reset (BOR) with software control. An extended Watchdog Timer (WDT) helps ensure system integrity, drawing a typical current of 1µA at 2.0V.

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