Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'SS' corresponds to the 20-pin SSOP package configuration required for your PCB layout. Confirm that the '-20I' designation matches your operational frequency requirements and industrial temperature range specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing programming tools supporting In-Circuit Serial Programming protocols before finalizing procurement decisions.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when 2K words of EPROM program memory are sufficient for application logic. Choose this model over the PIC16C712 if larger code storage is needed while maintaining identical peripheral sets. Consider the 20-pin SSOP package constraint against available board space. Verify that the 2.5V to 5.5V operating voltage range aligns with the system power supply design.
