Microchip Technology, Inc. Embedded - Microcontrollers PIC16C55A-20E/SS

The PIC16C55A-20E/SS is an 8-bit microcontroller featuring a 28-pin package and a 512 x 8-bit EPROM memory. It operates with a 12-bit instruction set and has a two-level deep hardware stack, allowing for efficient program execution. The device supports multiple addressing modes, including direct, indirect, and relative addressing. This microcontroller includes several peripheral features such as an 8-bit timer with a programmable prescaler, a watchdog timer, and a power-on reset function. It also offers a power-saving sleep mode and selectable oscillator options, including low-cost RC, standard crystal, high-speed crystal, and low-frequency crystal configurations. The PIC16C55A-20E/SS is built using low-power, high-speed CMOS technology, with a wide operating voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and low current consumption, making it suitable for battery-operated applications. Typical current consumption is less than 2 mA at 5V and 4 MHz, and standby current is as low as 0.6 µA at 3V. This microcontroller is ideal for applications requiring efficient processing and low power usage.
