Eight-Bit Flash MCU

Microchip Technology Inc.7X family of eight-bit Flash microcontrollers (MCUs) is expanded to include the high-performance 28-pin PIC16F872. This Flash device extends the company's Migratable Memory technology. This technology provides socket and software compatibility among all equivalent ROM, one-time programmable (OTP) and Flash memory MCUs in the PICmirco family. The technology allows customers to match the selection so MCU memory technology to the product life cycle of their applications. With 2K x 14 bits of Flash memory and 64 bytes of EEPROM data memory, the MCU features a wide operating voltage of 2.0-5.5 volts, making it suited for AC or battery-powered (DC) applications. The MCU also has a five-channel, 10-bit A/D converter, brownout detection, up to five MIPS performance at 20 MHz, I²C or SPI communications capability for peripheral expansion, two eight-bit timers and one 16-bit timer.
