PIC16LC926T-I/PT - 8-bit LCD MCU 14KB OTP 20MHz TQFP-64 | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC16LC926T-I/PT is an 8-bit CMOS microcontroller based on the PIC16C core with an integrated LCD driver, 14KB (8K x 14) of One-Time-Programmable (OTP) program memory, 336 bytes of RAM, and a 20MHz maximum operating frequency, supplied in a 64-pin TQFP package on tape-and-reel. The 'LC' suffix indicates the 2.5V to 5.5V low-voltage operating range, while the 'I' suffix denotes the industrial -40C to +85C temperature range, and the 'PT' package code marks the plastic TQFP-64 footprint (10mm x 10mm body).
An 8-bit PIC microcontroller (often called MCU or microcontroller unit) is a single-chip computer integrating a CPU core, program memory, RAM, peripheral set, and I/O on one die; it sits inside the broader taxonomy of embedded microcontrollers -> microprocessors -> semiconductors, and is the canonical choice for low-power, deterministic control tasks where a Cortex-M or DSP would be over-specified.
Key features include 25 digital I/O lines, an integrated LCD driver capable of up to 4 common x 32 segment duty-multiplexed panel control, a 10-bit 5-channel analog-to-digital converter, two 8-bit timers plus one 16-bit timer, a watchdog timer (WDT), brown-out reset (BOR), power-on reset (POR), I2C and SPI synchronous serial ports, and PWM with capture/compare capability. The device is fabricated on Microchip's mature OTP CMOS process and uses an external oscillator reference for system clocking.
The architecture pairs a 14-bit wide instruction word with a Harvard bus layout, allowing most instructions to execute in one instruction cycle and yielding strong deterministic interrupt response - a property valued in appliance, metering, and instrumentation firmware. Five channels of 10-bit ADC suit sensor front-ends for temperature, voltage, and current monitoring, while the LCD driver eliminates the need for an external charge-pump or segment-driver ASIC.
Typical applications include white-good and appliance user-interface panels, electronic utility meters, portable medical instruments with segment LCDs, automotive dashboard sub-displays (non-safety), and industrial HMI controllers. The combination of LCD driver, ADC, and moderate I/O count on one die makes it attractive for cost-sensitive human-machine-interface nodes.
When designing in this MCU, confirm oscillator selection matches the application: a 20MHz crystal is required for full-speed operation and the PLL is not used. Reserve one I/O line for the MCLR reset function and ensure the BOR level is configured for the actual supply rail. Program OTP devices in volume using a gang programmer, since OTP cannot be erased in-circuit.
