8-pin FLASH PIC micro Microcontrollers

摘要

Microchip continues to provide innovative products that are smaller, faster, easier to use and more reliable. The Flash-based PIC micro microcontrollers (MCU) are used in a wide range of everyday products from smoke detectors to industrial, automotive and medical products. The PIC12F/16F family of devices with on-chip voltage comparators merge all the advantages of the PICmicro MCU architecture and the flexibility of Flash program memory with the mixed signal nature of a voltage comparator. Together they form a low-cost hybrid digital/analogue building block with the power and flexibility to work in an analogue world. The flexibility of Flash memory and a comprehensive development tool suite, including a low cost In-Circuit Debugger, In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) and MPLAB ICE 2000 emulation, make these devices ideal for just about any embedded control application. This series of Tips 'n' Tricks can be applied to a variety of applications to help make the most of discrete voltage comparators or microcontrollers with on-chip voltage comparators.
