This document is a data sheet for EPROM-Based 8-Bit CMOS Microcontrollers by Microchip Technology Inc. The document provides information about device applications and features, and emphasizes the responsibility to ensure that the application meets specifications. Additionally, the document highlights that Microchip Technology Incorporated does not provide any representation or warranty regarding the accuracy or use of the information, or infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights arising from such use or otherwise.
The PIC16C62X family consists of EPROM‑based 8‑bit CMOS microcontrollers offering a reduced 35‑instruction set, single‑cycle execution, and a range of peripheral features such as analog comparators, voltage reference, and an 8‑bit timer/counter. Devices are offered in 18‑pin DIP, SOIC and SSOP packages with operating voltages from 2.5 V to 6.0 V.
Key specifications include up to 40 MHz clock speed, up to 2 kB program memory, up to 128 bytes of RAM, and low power consumption (<2 mA at 5 V, 4 MHz). The data sheet also details code‑protection options, oscillator selections, and development support tools.
| Maximum Clock Frequency | 40 MHz |
|---|---|
| Program Memory | 512 words |
| Data Memory (RAM) | 96 bytes |
| Power Consumption (active) | <2.0 mA @ 5.0 V, 4.0 MHz |
All instructions execute in a single cycle except program branches, which require two cycles.
Four options are available: single‑pin RC oscillator, low‑power (LP) oscillator, XT crystal, and HS high‑speed crystal.
No, the data sheet states that code protection does not guarantee the product is “unbreakable” and attempts to break it may violate the DMCA.
