Microcontrollers

Microchip Technology's PIC16F876A-I/SP is a mid-range, 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) that is part of the PIC16F87x family. It is designed for a wide range of applications, including industrial control, automotive systems, and consumer electronics.

Description:

The PIC16F876A-I/SP is a flash-based, 8-bit CMOS microcontroller featuring enhanced PIC® architecture with increased memory and peripherals. It is available in a 28-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-Line Package) and operates at a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V.

Features:

1. Enhanced PIC® architecture with increased performance and functionality
2. 8 kB Flash program memory with read-while-write capability
3. 368 bytes of RAM (Random Access Memory)
4. 256 bytes of EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory) for non-volatile data storage
5. 16-bit wide instruction word and 8-level deep hardware stack
6. Up to 35 configurable GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins
7. On-chip debugging and programming via ICD (In-Circuit Debugger) or ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming)
8. Three 8-bit timers with various modes, including 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit operation
9. A USART (Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) for serial communication
10. An ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) with up to 8 channels and 10-bit resolution
11. Low-power sleep modes to conserve energy during periods of inactivity
12. On-chip oscillator with PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) for improved frequency stability and accuracy
13. Brown-out detection and reset to protect against power supply fluctuations
