28/40-Pin 8-Bit CMOS FLASH Microcontrollers

This document contains device specific information about the following devices: PIC16F73 PIC16F74 PIC16F76 PIC16F77 PIC16F73 76 devices are available only in 28-pin pack- ages, while PIC16F74 77 devices are available in 40-pin and 44-pin packages. All devices in the PIC16F7X family share common architecture, with the following differences: ? The PIC16F73 and PIC16F76 have one-half of the total on-chip memory of the PIC16F74 and PIC16F77 This powerful (200 nanosecond instruction execution) yet easy-to-program (only 35 single word instructions) CMOS Flash-based 8-bit Microcontroller packs Microchip's powerful PIC architecture into an 40- or 44-pin package and is upwards compatible with the PIC16C5X, PIC12CXXX and PIC16C7X devices. The PIC16F74 features 8 channels of 8-bit Mixed-Signal index.htm'>Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter with 2 additional Timers 2 capture/compare/PWM functions and the synchronous serial port CAN be configured as either 3-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) or the 2-wire Inter-Integrated Circuit (IC) bus and a Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART). All of these features make it ideal for more advanced level A/D applications in automotive, industrial, appliances and consumer applications. By Microchip Technology Inc.
