This document describes the features and characteristics of a microcontroller from Microchip Technology Inc. The microcontroller has the following features: easy to learn with only 58 single word instructions, single cycle instructions except for program branches and table reads/writes, high operating speed, hardware multiplier, interrupt capability, hardware stack, various addressing modes, and internal/external program memory execution. In addition, it has multiple peripheral features including I/O pins, analog-to-digital converter, LED drive, capture input pins, PWM outputs, timers/counters, USART/SCI, and synchronous serial port.
The PIC17C7XX family comprises high‑performance 8‑bit CMOS microcontrollers with EPROM program memory, up to 902 bytes of RAM and a rich set of peripherals such as a 10‑bit multi‑channel ADC, three PWM outputs, four timer/counters and two independent USART modules. Devices are offered in 68‑pin LCC, 84‑pin LCC and 80‑pin QFP packages with up to 66 I/O pins.
Key features include a 33 MHz maximum clock speed, wide operating voltage (3.0‑5.5 V), low power consumption (<5 mA at 4 MHz), hardware multiplier, power‑on reset, watchdog timer, brown‑out reset and various oscillator options. The family supports EPROM, ROM and Flash memory types, with options for UV‑erasable, OTP and QTP programming services.
