PIC16C620A-20I/P

The PIC16C620A device is 18 and 20-Pin ROM/ EPROM-based members of the versatile PICmicro family of low cost, high performance, CMOS, fullystatic, 8-bit microcontrollers. All PICmicro microcontrollers employ an advanced RISC architecture. The PIC16C620A devices have enhanced core features, eight-level deep stack, and multiple internal and external interrupt sources. The separate instruction and data buses of the Harvard architecture allow a 14-bit wide instruction word with the separate 8-bit wide data. The two-stage instruction pipeline allows all instructions to execute in a single cycle, except for program branches (which require two cycles). A total of 35 instructions (reduced instruction set) are available. Additionally, a large register set gives some of the architectural innovations used to achieve a very high performance. PIC16C620A microcontrollers typically achieve a 2:1 code compression and a 4:1 speed improvement over other 8-bit microcontrollers in their class. The PIC16C620A, PIC16C621A and PIC16CR620A have 96 bytes of RAM. The PIC16C622(A) has 128 bytes of RAM. Each device has 13 I/O pins and an 8- bit timer/counter with an 8-bit programmable prescaler. In addition, the PIC16C620A adds two analog comparators with a programmable on-chip voltage reference module. The comparator module is ideally suited for applications requiring a low cost analog interface (e.g., battery chargers, threshold detectors, white goods controllers, etc). PIC16C620A devices have special features to reduce external components, thus reducing system cost, enhancing system reliability and reducing power consumption. There are four oscillator options, of which the single pin RC oscillator provides a low cost solution, the LP oscillator minimizes power consumption, XT is a standard crystal, and the HS is for High Speed crystals. The SLEEP (Power-down) mode offers power savings. The user can wake-up the chip from SLEEP through several external and internal interrupt
