PIC16C57C-04E/SP

Microcontrollers Overview

The PIC16C57C-04E/SP is an 8-bit microcontroller from the PIC16C5X family, featuring a RISC architecture with 33 single-cycle instructions. It includes 2K x 12 EPROM program memory and 72 bytes of RAM. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 40 MHz and offers 20 I/O pins in a 28-pin SSOP package. Operating voltage ranges from 2.5V to 5.5V, with an extended temperature range.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• High-performance RISC CPU with 12-bit wide instructions and Harvard architecture
• UV erasable EPROM program memory for code development flexibility
• Integrated Power-on Reset (POR) and Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• Selectable oscillator configurations including LP, XT, HS, and RC modes

Microcontrollers Applications

• Automotive motor control systems
• Appliance motor control applications
• Low power remote transmitters and receivers
• Telecom processors
• Replacement of glue logic in larger systems

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SP' indicates the SSOP package type when ordering. Confirm that the 'C' designation aligns with the required 2.5V to 5.5V operating voltage range. Ensure the EPROM version is selected if field reprogrammability is necessary for prototyping or low-volume production runs.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring UV-erasable memory for iterative development. The 28-pin SSOP package suits space-constrained designs needing surface mount technology. Verify that the 40 MHz maximum speed meets system timing requirements and that the 20 available I/O pins satisfy interface needs without additional multiplexing.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the PIC16C5X series of 8-bit CMOS microcontrollers. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the family, such as the PIC16C57 and PIC16CR57, but differs in memory type and package configuration. The EPROM variant allows for multiple programming cycles during development phases.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

PIC16C57C-04/P provides a PDIP alternative with identical electrical characteristics. PIC16C57C-04/SO offers a SOIC package option. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance when transitioning between package types.
