This data sheet introduces the core features, peripheral features and power characteristics of PIC16C6X 8-bit CMOS microcontrollers.
The PIC16C6X series is a low‑cost, high‑performance 8‑bit CMOS microcontroller family from Microchip. It offers a reduced 35‑instruction set, up to 20 MHz operation, and a variety of memory options ranging from 1 KB to 8 KB EPROM/ROM.
The devices provide multiple peripheral modules such as up to three timers, capture/compare/PWM modules, synchronous serial ports (SPI/I²C), and USARTs, along with extensive I/O pin counts (13–33 pins) and wide operating voltage ranges (2.5 V–6.0 V). The datasheet also covers packaging options, electrical characteristics, and development support tools.
