The PIC16C56A-04I/SO is an integrated circuit (IC) component, specifically a microcontroller, that features a wide range of applications. It is widely used in various consumer electronics, industrial automation, and automotive systems.
Key features of the PIC16C56A-04I/SO include:
1. Microcontroller Architecture: The PIC16C56A-04I/SO is based on a powerful Harvard architecture, which separates data and instruction memories for faster and more efficient execution.
2. Processor Core: It is powered by an 8-bit RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) microcontroller core. This allows for simplified instruction sets, which lead to faster execution times and require less memory.
3. Clock Speed: The PIC16C56A-04I/SO can operate at up to 4 MHz, making it suitable for applications requiring real-time execution or high-speed data transfer.
4. Program Memory: It has a program memory of 1.5 KB, allowing for the storage of program instructions and data. This memory is non-volatile, meaning it retains data even when power is lost.
5. Data Memory: The IC component provides 25 bytes of general-purpose data memory (RAM). This volatile memory is used to store variables, intermediate results, and other temporary data
