Microchip Technology, Inc. Microcontrollers PIC16F688-E/ML

The PIC16F688-E/ML is a 14-pin, flash-based, 8-bit CMOS microcontroller featuring a high-performance RISC CPU with a maximum operating speed of 20 MHz and a 200 ns instruction cycle. It supports a wide operating voltage range of 2.0V to 5.5V and is designed for low power consumption, with a standby current of 50 nA and operating currents of 11 ¬µA at 32 kHz and 220 ¬µA at 4 MHz. This microcontroller includes a precision internal oscillator, which is factory calibrated to ¬±1% and offers a software-selectable frequency range from 8 MHz to 125 kHz. It features multiple special functions such as a power-saving sleep mode, programmable code protection, and an enhanced low-current watchdog timer. The device also supports a variety of peripherals, including 12 I/O pins with individual direction control, an analog comparator module, and a 10-bit A/D converter with 8 channels. The PIC16F688-E/ML is suitable for industrial applications due to its extended temperature range of -40¬8C to +125¬8C and high endurance flash and EEPROM cells, capable of withstanding 100,000 write cycles for flash and 1,000,000 for EEPROM. This microcontroller is ideal for projects requiring efficient power management and robust performance in a compact package.
