Microchip 8-bit PIC Microcontroller PIC16F884-I/P, 40 MHz, 7kB FLASH, 40-Pin PDIP

Microchip PIC16F884-I/P is an advanced 8-bit microcontroller designed for embedded applications that demand speed, flexibility, and reliability. Featuring a maximum clock frequency of 40 MHz and a robust PIC architecture, this microcontroller offers optimal performance for industrial, automation, instrumentation, and commercial designs.

With 7kB of flash program memory, the PIC16F884-I/P enables secure storage of firmware and system routines. It comes in a 40-pin PDIP package for ease of prototyping and direct PCB assembly, and the through-hole mounting simplifies integration into various sizing and manufacturing configurations.

This microcontroller is equipped with 35 programmable input and output pins, providing extensive options for connecting sensors, actuators, displays, and communication modules. Interface flexibility is further enhanced with both Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) supporting SPI and I2C protocols, and Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) for serial communications.

A 256-byte RAM enables robust data handling, while an integrated 14-channel, 10-bit ADC is suitable for precision analog signal processing in measurement and control applications. Two analogue comparators, three timers (including both 8-bit and 16-bit configurations), and a RISC-based instruction set architecture streamline programming and enable high-throughput operation.

The device operates between 2V and 5.5V supply voltages, and withstands extreme temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for automotive, laboratory, industrial, and commercial environments. Power-On Reset (POR), Brown-Out Reset (BOR), Power-Up Timer (PWRT), Oscillator Start-Up Timer (OST), and Watchdog Timer (WDT) features deliver enhanced stability and fail-safe functionality in demanding conditions.

For engineers and designers, the PIC16F884-I/P provides in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) and in-circuit debugging (ICD), facilitating rapid development cycles, troubleshooting, and iterative refinement. Its on-chip oscillator is factory calibrated to ±1% accuracy for reliable clock generation and consistent system performance.

Industrial and laboratory contexts benefit from the microcontroller’s rich peripheral set, deep hardware stack, and versatile interface options. This device integrates seamlessly into embedded systems for automation, measurement, remote industrial control, sensor interfacing, and data acquisition.
