The PIC16F913-I/SO is an 8-bit microcontroller Integrated Circuit (IC) developed by Microchip Technology. This IC belongs to the PIC family of microcontrollers and is highly suitable for low-power and cost-effective applications. With its versatile features, it is commonly used in a wide range of embedded control systems.
Key features of the PIC16F913-I/SO IC include:
1. 8-bit RISC Architecture: The IC incorporates an 8-bit RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture, providing efficient and easy-to-use processing capabilities.
2. Flash Program Memory: It has a Flash program memory of 3.5 KB, enabling in-circuit reprogrammability and flexibility in program modifications.
3. Data Memory: It consists of 128 Bytes of Random Access Memory (RAM) for volatile data storage during program execution.
4. Enhanced EEPROM: The IC contains an Enhanced EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) of 256 Bytes with self-write capability. This allows non-volatile data storage, which can be accessed even when the power is turned off.
5. I/O Ports: It features 18 I/O (Input/Output) pins, allowing the device to interact with various external peripheral devices such as sensors, actuators, and communication modules.
6. Timers and Counters: The IC includes multiple timers and counters, including a 8-bit Timer0 and a 16-bit Timer1
