Microchip PIC16C Series 8-Bit CMOS MCU OTP 18-Pin DIP

The Microchip PIC16C Series 8-Bit CMOS MCU is an OTP (One-Time Programmable) microcontroller, engineered for reliable and cost-effective embedded control solutions. Part of the widely recognised PIC16 family, this device offers a robust 8-bit core, making it a versatile choice for a broad range of applications requiring precise digital control.

With a maximum operating frequency of 20MHz and 768 bytes of program memory, it delivers efficient performance for embedded tasks. The microcontroller features 12 I/O pins, providing flexible connectivity for peripherals and sensors, and includes an RS232 interface for serial communication, facilitating easy data exchange in control systems.

Designed for durability, it operates across a wide supply voltage range from 2V to 5.5V and within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Its through-hole DIP (Dual In-line Package) format ensures straightforward and secure mounting on printed circuit boards, ideal for prototyping, development, and production in educational, hobbyist, and industrial environments.

This microcontroller's combination of OTP memory, comprehensive I/O, and communication capabilities makes it a fundamental component for designing custom electronic systems where permanent, reliable programming is essential.
