Microchip Technology, Inc. Microcontrollers PIC16C57-LPI/SO

The PIC16C57-LPI/SO is an 8-bit microcontroller from Quarktwin Technology Ltd. featuring a 40 MHz operating speed and a 2K x 12 OTP (One-Time Programmable) memory configuration. It has a 28-pin SOIC package and supports a variety of oscillator options, including low-cost RC, standard crystal, high-speed crystal, and low-frequency crystal configurations. The device incorporates a 12-bit instruction set with a two-level deep hardware stack, allowing for efficient program execution. Key peripheral features include an 8-bit real-time clock/counter with a programmable prescaler, a watchdog timer, and power-on reset capabilities. The microcontroller operates within a wide voltage range of 2.0V to 6.25V and is designed for low power consumption, with typical currents of less than 2 mA at 5V and 4 MHz, and as low as 15 µA at 3V and 32 kHz. The PIC16C57-LPI/SO is suitable for applications requiring reliable performance in a compact form factor.
