Product Overview

This powerful easy-to-program (only 35 single word instructions) with (200 nanosecond instruction execution) along with CMOS FLASH-based 8-bit microcontroller packs Microchip's powerful PIC® architecture into an 40- or 44-pin package and is upwards compatible with the PIC16C5X, PIC12CXXX and PIC16C7X devices. The PIC16F877A features 256 bytes of EEPROM data memory, self programming, an ICD, 2 Comparators, 8 stations of 10-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter, 2 capture/compare/PWM works, the synchronous serial port may be configured as 3-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI™) or the 2-wire Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C™) bus and a Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART). All of these attributes make it perfect for more advanced degree A/D programs in automotive, industrial, appliances and consumer applications.
