Microchip Technology, Inc. 8-bit 8BIT Embedded Microcontroller MCU PIC12C508A-04I/P

The PIC12C508A-04I/P is an 8-bit CMOS microcontroller featuring a high-performance RISC CPU with only 33 single-word instructions, all executing in a single cycle except for program branches. It operates at a clock speed of up to 4 MHz, with a 1 ms instruction cycle. The microcontroller includes 512 x 12 bits of program memory and 25 bytes of EEPROM data memory, with a retention period exceeding 40 years. This device supports various peripheral features such as an 8-bit real-time clock/counter, power-on reset, device reset timer, and a watchdog timer. It also offers in-circuit serial programming and a power-saving sleep mode, with wake-up capabilities on pin changes. The PIC12C508A operates within a voltage range of 3.0 to 5.5V and is suitable for commercial, industrial, and extended temperature ranges. The microcontroller is designed for low power consumption, drawing less than 2 mA at 5V and 4 MHz, and features internal weak pull-ups on I/O pins. Its fully static design and wide operating voltage range make it versatile for various applications.
