PIC16C54T-LPE/SO

Microcontrollers Overview

The PIC16C54T-LPE/SO is an 8-bit microcontroller from the PIC16C family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a 768-byte (512 x 12) One-Time Programmable (OTP) program memory and 25 bytes of RAM. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 4 MHz with an external oscillator type. It supports a supply voltage range of 3.25V to 6V and includes 12 I/O lines. Key peripherals include Power-On Reset (POR) and Watchdog Timer (WDT). The component is housed in a 20-lead Small Outline Package (SOIC) and is rated for operation between -40°C and 125°C.

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package style and temperature grade. Confirm current availability status as older PIC16C series components may be discontinued or subject to last-time buy notices. Ensure compatibility with existing design-in tools and verify that the OTP programming requirements align with production needs.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when utilizing legacy 8-bit PIC architectures requiring OTP storage and external clocking. Verify that the target application environment supports the specified 3.25V to 6V operating range. Ensure the design accommodates the 20-pin SOIC footprint and that the required peripheral set meets the basic POR and WDT functionality provided by this core.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the PIC16C5x series of 8-bit microcontrollers. These devices are designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring simple control logic. The series typically utilizes a RISC architecture optimized for efficient code execution. Development support historically included dedicated hardware emulators like the MPLAB ICE 2000 for debugging and verification prior to final deployment.
