The PIC16LF876-04/SO is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Microchip, a leading provider of microcontrollers and related products. It belongs to the PIC16 family of microcontrollers and is designed to offer enhanced performance and versatility for various applications.
Key features of the PIC16LF876-04/SO include:
1. Architecture: The PIC16LF876-04/SO is built using a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architecture. This allows for efficient and optimized execution of instructions, resulting in faster processing and improved overall system performance.
2. CPU: It is equipped with an 8-bit CPU, which means it can process data in chunks of 8 bits at a time. The CPU operates at a clock speed of up to 4 MHz, enabling quick execution of instructions.
3. Flash Memory: The microcontroller has a Flash memory with a capacity of 14 kilobytes (KB). This memory is non-volatile, which means the data stored in it will be retained even when the power is turned off. It allows for easy reprogramming and updating of the firmware.
4. RAM and EEPROM: It features 368 bytes of Random Access Memory (RAM), which provides space for rapidly accessing and storing data during program execution. Additionally, it offers 256 bytes of Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), which provides a non-volatile storage space for long-term data storage
