Microchip Technology, Inc. 8-bit Microcontrollers - MCU PIC17LC42A-08/P

The PIC17LC42A-08/P is an 8-bit CMOS microcontroller featuring a 2K EPROM memory and 232 bytes of RAM. It operates within a voltage range of 2.5V to 6.0V and is designed for low power consumption, drawing less than 5 mA at 5V and 4 MHz, and typically 1 mA in standby mode. The device supports a maximum clock input of 33 MHz and has a 121 ns instruction cycle time. It includes multiple timers, such as an 8-bit timer/counter (TMR2) and a 16-bit timer/counter (TMR3), as well as a Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART) for communication. The microcontroller also features a power-on reset, watchdog timer, and power-saving sleep mode. With 33 I/O pins and capabilities for direct LED drive, this microcontroller is suitable for a variety of applications requiring efficient processing and low power usage.
