The IC component PIC16C57C-04/SO is a 8-bit microcontroller designed and manufactured by Microchip Technology. It belongs to the PIC16 family and is known for its versatile functionality and wide range of applications. Below is an overview of the key features of this IC component:
1. Architecture: The PIC16C57C-04/SO is built on a high-performance RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture. It has a 14-bit instruction set and operates at a clock speed of up to 4 MHz.
2. Memory: It consists of 2 kilobytes (2048 bytes) of Flash memory for program storage, which is non-volatile and retains data even after power loss. Additionally, it has 72 bytes of RAM (Random Access Memory) for temporary data storage.
3. I/O Ports: The IC component features a total of 13 I/O pins, which can be configured as either input or output as per the requirements of the application. These pins support various digital functions like UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter), SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), and I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit).
4. Timers/Counters: It incorporates two 8-bit timers/counters, namely Timer0 and Timer1. These are powerful tools for accurate timekeeping, event counting, and generating precise delays
