Microchip 8 bit PIC PIC16C Microcontroller 20 MHz 8kB FLASH 18-Pin SOIC PIC16C54C-04I/SO

Microchip PIC16C54C-04I/SO is an 8 bit PIC microcontroller featuring a PIC16C series device core, running at a maximum clock frequency of 20 MHz with 8kB of FLASH program memory. It operates on a voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with various power supply configurations. Encased in an 18-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) surface mount package, it is designed for compact board layouts.

The microcontroller implements a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) architecture with only 33 single word, single cycle instructions enhancing code efficiency and reducing development time. It features 12 programmable I/O pins and 1 timer module to facilitate real-time applications.

Memory includes 25 bit RAM size and 512 Bytes EEPROM for non-volatile data storage with FLASH program memory providing durability for program code. The device includes power management features such as power-on reset, device reset timer and watchdog timer with its own on-chip RC oscillator ensuring reliable operation in varying conditions.

The operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C supports use in demanding industrial and automotive environments. This microcontroller also features an 8-bit real-time clock/counter (TMR0) integrated with 8-bit programmable prescaler for timing accuracy.

Its compact form factor with dimensions of 11.73 mm length, 7.59 mm width, and 2.39 mm height in the 300 mil SOIC package supports modern electronics design requirements with RoHS compliance ensuring environmental standards.

The 8-bit CMOS technology ensures low power consumption with high-speed performance. The single-cycle instructions and symmetrical instruction set reduce code size by 50% compared to other 8-bit microcontrollers. Features include direct, indirect, and relative addressing modes enhancing programming flexibility.

The device's watchdog timer provides reliable automatic reset to avoid system lock-up. The microcontroller supports programmable code protection for secure applications. Low power SLEEP mode further conserves energy during idle periods.

This microcontroller is ideal for embedded systems in industrial control, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, and other applications requiring efficient, low-power 8-bit control. It is supported by Microchip's ecosystem including macro assembler, software simulator, in-circuit emulator, and development programmers.
