PIC16C57C-04I/P

The PIC16C5X from Microchip Technology is a family
of low cost, high performance, 8-bit fully static,
EPROM/ROM-based CMOS microcontrollers. It
employs a RISC architecture with only 33 single word/
single cycle instructions. All instructions are single
cycle except for program branches which take two
cycles. The PIC16C5X delivers performance in an
order of magnitude higher than its competitors in the
same price category. The 12-bit wide instructions are
highly symmetrical resulting in 2:1 code compression
over other 8-bit microcontrollers in its class. The easy
to use and easy to remember instruction set reduces
development time significantly.
The PIC16C5X products are equipped with special features that reduce system cost and power requirements.
The Power-on Reset (POR) and Device Reset Timer
(DRT) eliminate the need for external RESET circuitry.
There are four oscillator configurations to choose from,
including the power saving LP (Low Power) oscillator
and cost saving RC oscillator. Power saving SLEEP
mode, Watchdog Timer and Code Protection features
improve system cost, power and reliability.
