PIC16C505-04I/SL

The PIC16C505 from Microchip Technology is a lowcost, high-performance, 8-bit, fully static, EPROM/ ROM-based CMOS microcontroller. It employs a RISC architecture with only 33 single word/single cycle instructions. All instructions are single cycle (200 µs) except for program branches, which take two cycles. The PIC16C505 delivers performance an order of magnitude higher than its competitors in the same price category. The 12-bit wide instructions are highly symmetrical resulting in a typical 2:1 code compression over other 8-bit microcontrollers in its class. The easy to use and easy to remember instruction set reduces development time significantly. The PIC16C505 product is equipped with special features that reduce system cost and power requirements. The Power-On Reset (POR) and Device Reset Timer (DRT) eliminate the need for external reset circuitry. There are five oscillator configurations to choose from, including INTRC internal oscillator mode and the power-saving LP (Low Power) oscillator mode. Power saving SLEEP mode, Watchdog Timer and code protection features improve system cost, power and reliability. The PIC16C505 is available in the cost-effective OneTime-Programmable (OTP) version, which is suitable for production in any volume. The customer can take full advantage of Microchip’s price leadership in OTP microcontrollers, while benefiting from the OTP’s flexibility. The PIC16C505 product is supported by a full-featured macro assembler, a software simulator, an in-circuit emulator, a ‘C’ compiler, a low-cost development programmer and a full featured programmer. All the tools are supported on IBM? PC and compatible machines.
