PIC12CE518-04E/P

Microcontrollers Overview

The PIC12CE518-04E/P is an 8-bit microcontroller from the PIC12C5XX family, featuring a high-performance RISC CPU with 33 single-cycle instructions. It includes 512 x 12 EPROM program memory, 25 bytes of RAM, and 16 bytes of EEPROM data memory. The device operates at a maximum clock frequency of 4 MHz and supports In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP).

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Features a high-performance 8-bit RISC architecture with a two-level deep hardware stack.
• Includes non-volatile EEPROM data memory for reliable storage of calibration factors and security codes.
• Integrates Power-On Reset (POR) and Device Reset Timer (DRT) to eliminate external reset circuitry.
• Supports selectable oscillator options including internal RC, external RC, crystal, and low-power modes.

Microcontrollers Applications

• Personal care appliances
• Security systems
• Low-power remote transmitters/receivers

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify that the 'E' suffix corresponds to the Extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) as specified in the datasheet's product identification system. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB layout, typically PDIP or SOIC for this series. Ensure the specific ordering code aligns with the manufacturer's current documentation to avoid discrepancies in voltage ranges or pinouts.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when EPROM flexibility is required for customizing application programs during development. It is suitable for applications needing EEPROM data retention for changing calibration factors. Consider the 8-pin footprint and limited I/O count for space-constrained designs requiring basic logic replacement or timer functions.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the PIC12C5XX family of 8-bit CMOS microcontrollers. It shares architectural similarities with the PIC12C508 and PIC12C509 but distinguishes itself by integrating 16 bytes of EEPROM data memory alongside its EPROM program storage. This combination allows for both flexible code development and persistent data storage within a compact 8-pin package.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

PIC12CE519-04E/P offers identical features with 1024 words of program memory. PIC12C518 variants provide similar functionality without the EEPROM data memory. Verify pin compatibility and memory requirements before substituting.
