PIC17C43T-25I/PT - 8-bit OTP MCU 8KB EPROM 25MHz TQFP-44 | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC17C43T-25I/PT is a high-performance 8-bit CMOS EPROM/ROM microcontroller featuring 8 KB of on-chip One-Time-Programmable (OTP) program memory, a 25 MHz maximum clock input, and 454 bytes of general-purpose RAM, all housed in a 44-pin TQFP (PT) surface-mount package delivered on tape-and-reel. The 'T' suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, the '25' indicates the 25 MHz speed grade, the 'I' indicates an industrial operating temperature range, and the '/PT' suffix confirms the TQFP-44 footprint. According to the Microchip datasheet, the device executes most instructions in a single 121 ns instruction cycle (excluding program branches and table reads/writes, which require two cycles), and it can deliver up to 8.25 MIPS throughput at the 33 MHz clock ceiling of the PIC17C43 family.
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a self-contained computing element built around an 8-bit data path, on-chip program memory, on-chip data RAM, and a set of peripherals such as timers, capture/compare/PWM modules, USARTs, and I/O ports. The PIC17C43 sits at the top of the original PIC17C family - a high-performance extension of the PIC16 mid-range line - and was Microchip's first PIC architecture to feature a 16-bit instruction word with 8-bit data, hardware multiply, multiple interrupt sources, and a 16-level hardware stack. It belongs to the broader hierarchy: microcontroller -> embedded controller -> semiconductor -> integrated circuit.
Key differentiating features include only 58 single-word instructions to learn (simplifying firmware development), a 25 MHz external clock input yielding a 160 ns instruction cycle, an instruction set with hardware multiply, four interrupt sources, a 16-level deep hardware stack, and 33 I/O pins (in the 44-pin TQFP). The architecture also incorporates a 4x phase-locked loop option on some family members, hardware USART, multiple timer/counter blocks, and capture/compare/PWM modules suited to real-time embedded control.
The PIC17C43 is built on a CMOS EPROM process, allowing prototype and low-volume production programming with a windowed or OTP package. Industrial-temperature silicon ensures operation across -40 C to +85 C. Typical applications include industrial automation controllers, motor-control front-ends, instrumentation, automotive body and chassis modules (non-safety), embedded data-acquisition front-ends, and legacy embedded control designs that must be maintained or replaced part-for-part during long-lifecycle product support. Microchip recommends the newer PIC18F4220 as a modern migration path for new designs.
When designing with this part, treat the OTP window carefully: the PIC17C43T ships as one-time-programmable, so code must be fully verified before production programming. Use the 44-pin TQFP land pattern exactly as published by Microchip, allow bulk decoupling near VDD/VSS pairs, and ensure the oscillator load capacitors match the chosen crystal. For new designs, evaluate the PIC18F family first; for legacy board repairs, the PIC17C43T-25I/PT remains a direct, footprint-compatible option.
