PIC16C54T-LP/SO

Microcontrollers Overview

The PIC16C54T-LP/SO is an 8-bit microcontroller from the PIC16C family, featuring a low-power architecture. It utilizes a 12-bit wide instruction set with an 8-bit data path and includes seven or eight special function hardware registers. The device incorporates a two-level deep hardware stack and supports direct, indirect, and relative addressing modes for both data and instructions.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Features an 8-bit real-time clock/counter (TMR0) equipped with an 8-bit programmable prescaler.
• Includes integrated Power-On Reset (POR), Device Reset Timer (DRT), and Watchdog Timer (WDT).
• Supports selectable oscillator options to accommodate various system timing requirements.

Microcontrollers Applications

• Emulation using MPLAB ICE 2000 processor modules and device adapters.
• Development of applications requiring low-voltage operation down to 2.0V.
• Systems utilizing internal or external clock sources for precise timing control.

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature range. Confirm compatibility with the intended development tools, such as the MPLAB ICE 2000 emulator system. Ensure the target application voltage aligns with the module's power supply capabilities. Check for any specific jumper settings on device adapters if emulating low-frequency operations.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power 8-bit solution with OTP memory is required. Consider the operating voltage range between 2.0V and 5.5V for flexible power supply designs. Evaluate the need for specific oscillator modes and peripheral features like TMR0 and WDT during the design phase.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the PIC16C5X series of EPROM/ROM-based 8-bit CMOS microcontrollers. The series shares common architectural features including the 12-bit instruction word and standard peripheral sets. It is designed for cost-effective embedded control applications requiring moderate performance and low power consumption.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Consult the Microchip Product Selector Guide (DS00148) for verified substitutes within the PIC16C family. Ensure replacement parts support the same package style and voltage range. Verify emulator module compatibility if used in existing development setups.
