• Industrial monitoring applications
• Consumer electronics

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type TSSOP-14 matches the design requirements. Confirm the operating temperature range covers the intended environment. Ensure the voltage supply aligns with the 2.0V to 5.5V specification. Check for any recent datasheet revisions or errata sheets that may impact implementation details.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when a small footprint 8-bit MCU is needed with basic analog comparator functionality. It is suitable for applications not requiring an ADC or advanced PWM modules found in the PIC16F616 variant. Consider the 14-pin TSSOP package for surface-mount assembly constraints.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the PIC16F61x series, which shares architectural similarities with the PIC16HV61x and PIC16F616. Unlike the PIC16F616, this model lacks an Analog-to-Digital Converter and Timer2 module. It is designed for cost-sensitive applications needing reliable Flash memory and basic I/O capabilities.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

PIC16F616-I/ST offers additional ADC and Timer2 features but requires software adaptation. PIC16HV610-I/ST provides high-voltage shunt regulator capabilities. Verify pin compatibility and memory size differences before substitution.
