PIC12F609/615/617 8-Bit Flash MicrocontrollersMicrochip’s PIC12 Microcontrollers (MCUs) were the world’s first 8-Pin microcontrollers. Originally launched as One Time Programmable (OTP) parts, this range of devices continues to expand as extra features and further improvements are added.The PIC12F609/615/617 family of microcontrollers is based upon Microchip’s mid-range core with an 8 level deep hardware stack and 35 instructions. These MCUs provide up to 5 MIPS, up to 3.5 Kbytes program memory with data memory up to 128 bytes RAM. On board is a configurable RC oscillator with ±1% accuracy.Features35 Instructions8 Level Hardware Stack8 MHz Internal Oscillator – Selectable 4 MHz or 8 MHz5 I/O Pins1 Comparator4 Channel 10-bit Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC) – PIC12F615/F617 onlyOne 8-bit Timer – PIC12F615/F617 Two 8-Bit TimersOne 16-bit TimerIn Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP)Microchip PIC12F 8-bit PIC® MicrocontrollersMicrochip’s PIC12F Microcontrollers (MCUs) were the world’s first 8-Pin microcontrollers. Originally launched as One Time Programmable (OTP) parts, this range of devices continues to expand as Microchip adds extra features, further improves specifications and continues to offer ever greater value. Key to the success of the PIC12F was the internal RC oscillator that allowed six I/O channels in an 8-pin package. Later versions of this RC oscillator are configurable between 31kHz and 32MHz.
