This document describes the features and characteristics of Microchip's PIC12F609/HV609 and PIC12F615/HV615 series of 8-bit CMOS microcontrollers. These 8-bit, 8-pin devices are protected by Microchip's Low Pin Count Patent and feature flash memory. The document also mentions related US and foreign patents and applications.
This document is a preliminary data sheet for the Microchip PIC12F609/HV609 and PIC12F615/HV615 families of 8-pin, 8-bit Flash-based CMOS microcontrollers. These devices feature a high-performance RISC CPU with only 35 instructions to learn, operating at speeds up to DC-20 MHz with a typical instruction cycle of 200 ns.
Key features include precision internal oscillators factory-calibrated to +1%, power-saving sleep modes, and extensive low-power capabilities such as standby currents as low as 50 nA. The microcontrollers offer various timer modules (Timer0, Timer1, and Timer2 for specific models), an analog comparator module with programmable voltage references, and enhanced capture/compare/PWM functionality available on the PIC12F615/HV615 variants.
