Microcontrollers FAQ

What are the available oscillator modes for the PIC16LC54C?

The device supports four oscillator configurations: Low Power (LP) crystal, Standard Crystal/Resonator (XT), High Speed Crystal/Resonator (HS), and Resistor/Capacitor (RC).

How does the instruction execution work in this microcontroller?

All instructions execute in a single cycle except for program branches, which take two cycles due to pipeline flushing. The architecture uses a 12-bit wide instruction set.
