PIC17C756A-33E/L
PIC17C756A-33E/L - 8-bit 33MHz OTP MCU, 32KB, 50 I/O | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC17C756A-33E/L is an 8-bit, 8.25-MIPS CMOS OTP-based microcontroller built on Microchip's PIC® RISC architecture and packaged in a 68-pin PLCC (24.23 x 24.23 mm). According to the Microchip product page for PIC17C756A, the device executes one instruction in 121 ns, supports up to 32 KB (16K x 16) of OTP program memory, and includes 902 bytes of RAM with 50 digital I/O pins.
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU, program memory, RAM, peripheral I/O, and timers onto one silicon die, intended for embedded control tasks where a small, deterministic core beats the overhead of a higher-performance processor. Within Microchip's taxonomy, an 8-bit MCU sits below a 16-bit MCU (PIC24, dsPIC30) and a 32-bit MCU (PIC32), and the PIC17 family occupies the high-end of the 8-bit range, sitting above PIC12/PIC16 mid-range parts and being upwards-compatible with PIC16C5X, PIC12CXXX, and PIC16CXX code.
Key features of the PIC17C756A include 8.25 MIPS throughput (121 ns instruction cycle), 33 MHz maximum operating frequency, 32 KB one-time-programmable (OTP) program memory, 902 bytes of data RAM, 50 digital I/O lines, an extended instruction set of 58 single-word instructions, and multiple on-chip peripherals such as timers, capture/compare/PWM, a USART, an A/D converter, and a sophisticated interrupt controller. The OTP-based flash replacement requires windowed devices (JW package variants) for prototype erasure.
Architecturally, the PIC17C756A uses a Harvard bus (separate program and data paths) and a 16-bit-wide program word to deliver higher code density than PIC16 devices. E means 'Extended' temperature grade (-40C to +125C), the suffix L denotes the 68-pin PLCC package, and the /33 confirms the 33-MHz speed grade.
Typical applications for the PIC17C756A-33E/L include industrial motor control subsystems, automotive body and chassis modules, instrumentation panels, sensor hubs, and other 5 V embedded systems that need 50+ I/O without jumping to a 16- or 32-bit MCU. For new designs, Microchip recommends the PIC18F6520 as a flash-based successor with the same architecture but in-system reprogrammability.
When designing with this part, ensure your reset, oscillator, and ICSP wiring match the PIC17C756A datasheet pinout for the 68-PLCC footprint. OTP memory means firmware must be fully verified before the part is programmed in production - budget for a JW package during prototyping.
