Microchip PIC12F510/16F506 Data Sheet
The PIC12F510 and PIC16F506 are low‑cost, high‑performance 8‑bit flash microcontrollers from Microchip. They use a RISC architecture with 33 single‑word instructions and offer a range of oscillator options, watchdog timer, power‑on reset, and code‑protection features.
Key specifications include up to 20 MHz operation, a wide 2.0 V‑5.5 V supply range, industrial and extended temperature ratings, low operating current (<350 µA at 2 V, 4 MHz), and 100 nA standby current. The devices provide 1024‑word flash program memory, up to 67 bytes data memory, and integrated peripherals such as ADC, comparators, and timers.
