PIC16LC923-04I/L Descripción general
What is a PIC16C microcontroller? The PIC16C family is Microchip's classic 8-bit OTP-programmable MCU line based on a RISC Harvard architecture. PIC microcontrollers integrate CPU core, non-volatile program memory, RAM, peripherals (timers, ADC, USART, I/O), and in many variants a LCD driver on a single die. They occupy the low-power, deterministic-execution tier of the embedded MCU hierarchy: microcontroller -> 8-bit MCU -> PIC family -> PIC16C sub-family. Compared with flash-based PIC16F parts, PIC16C OTP devices ship with one-time-programmable EPROM and target cost-sensitive volume production.
Key features of the PIC16LC923 include 35 single-word instructions with 500 ns single-cycle execution (except program branches which are two cycles), 8-level hardware stack, four 8-bit I/O ports (PORTA-PORTD partially), and a wide 2.5 V to 6.0 V supply range thanks to its LC (low-voltage, low-power CMOS) process. The device integrates peripherals such as timers, a USART, and capture/compare/PWM modules, supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V system designs.
The PIC16LC923 uses a 14-bit instruction word and a separate 8-bit data path, with all single-cycle instructions completing in 500 ns at 4 MHz, providing deterministic timing for interrupt-driven control loops. The LC process variant reduces power consumption and allows operation down to 2.5 V, while the -04 speed suffix denotes a 4 MHz maximum clock. Internal RC oscillator and crystal modes are supported, giving flexibility in BOM cost versus timing accuracy.
Typical applications include LCD-display-based industrial keypads and front-panel controllers, white-goods and consumer appliances, instrument front panels with LED/LCD indicator logic, and legacy embedded control boards being maintained for long-life programs. The 52 I/O count supports keypad scanning, multiplexed LCD drive, and parallel bus peripherals in a single chip.
When designing with this part, note that OTP memory requires windowed parts for verification; engineering units should be ordered in ceramic-windowed packages or pre-programmed before assembly. The 68-pin PLCC footprint allows socketed programming and field replacement, but PLCC tooling and sockets are increasingly scarce - plan second-source or migration paths early in the design cycle.

Aplicaciones típicas
PIC16LC923-04I/L es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Industrial Front-Panel Keypad Controller, LCD-Driven Appliance Control Board, Legacy Industrial Instrumentation, Parallel-Bus Peripheral Interface Board, Educational 8-bit Microcontroller Trainer, Automotive Aftermarket Accessory Controller.
Industrial Front-Panel Keypad Controller
The PIC16LC923-04I/L is well suited to industrial front-panel keypad and HMI controllers thanks to its 52 digital I/O pins and 7 KB OTP program memory. The 4 MHz clock and 500 ns instruction cycle provide deterministic scan timing for 8x8 matrix keypads without jitter. The wide 2.5-6.0 V supply tolerance supports both 3.3 V and 5 V backplane designs. The LC process variant keeps quiescent current low for always-on operator panels. Note that OTP memory requires windowed parts for code-validation builds - budget engineering units in ceramic packages separately.
Recomendado
LCD-Driven Appliance Control Board
With 52 I/O and adequate code space for character-mapped LCD driver routines, the PIC16LC923-04I/L fits white-goods and consumer appliance control boards where a character LCD is multiplexed with relays and sensors. The 4 MHz CPU cycle yields 500 ns deterministic instruction throughput for time-slice refresh loops. The 2.5-6.0 V supply range allows direct connection to rectified 5 V rails typical in appliance power supplies. The 68-PLCC package supports socketed field serviceability in long-lifecycle appliance SKUs.
Recomendado
Legacy Industrial Instrumentation
Long-life industrial instrumentation programs - process controllers, panel meters, and field transmitters - frequently depend on PIC16C-family parts for proven field reliability. The PIC16LC923-04I/L's -40C to +85C industrial temperature range and NRND-but-supported lifecycle status make it ideal for retrofit and maintenance SKUs where firmware is locked and PCB cannot be reworked. The 4 MHz instruction rate suffices for RTD/thermocouple linearization, scaling, and display-update loops. Sourcing teams should pair this part with a qualified flash-based drop-in to de-risk obsolescence.
Recomendado
Parallel-Bus Peripheral Interface Board
The PIC16LC923-04I/L can act as a low-cost parallel-bus bridge or protocol converter in legacy peripheral interface boards because of its 52 I/O and 7 KB OTP code space. Common roles include GPIB-to-UART converters, parallel-keypad to serial bridges, and printer-port emulators. The Harvard architecture with deterministic 500 ns cycles is well-suited to handshake-driven parallel transfers. The 2.5-6.0 V supply tolerance accepts both 3.3 V and 5 V peripheral sides of a level-shifting bridge.
Recomendado
Educational 8-bit Microcontroller Trainer
Universities and embedded-training labs adopt the PIC16LC923-04I/L because the 68-PLCC socketable package simplifies student hot-swap and re-programming using windowed engineering parts. The 35-instruction RISC core is the canonical teaching platform for assembly language and embedded fundamentals. With 52 I/O and 7 KB OTP, students can implement full mini-projects (traffic light, keypad lock, frequency counter) on one chip. The wide 2.5-6.0 V supply range also lets labs power boards from USB or bench supplies without regulation.
Recomendado
Automotive Aftermarket Accessory Controller
Although not AEC-Q100 qualified, the PIC16LC923-04I/L is sometimes deployed in non-critical automotive aftermarket accessories - alarm indicators, auxiliary lighting controllers, and OBD-II diagnostic tools - where its wide 2.5-6.0 V input tolerance handles 12 V vehicle rails after pre-regulation. The 4 MHz core and 52 I/O support multiple relay/sensor inputs in a single chip. Engineers should verify automotive-specific EMC and temperature margins independently, as the -40C to +85C rating meets most cabin applications but not under-hood environments.

Notas de diseño
The PIC16LC923-04I/L uses OTP (One-Time-Programmable) EPROM. Production parts cannot be re-programmed in the field. Always order engineering samples in windowed ceramic packages (UV-erasable) for code verification, and verify firmware on the windowed version before committing OTP units. Plan a 5-10% OTP programming yield allowance and budget windowed engineering units separately. Microchip's OTP programming specification requires VPP of 13 V typical during programming.
Place a 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor as close as possible to each VDD/VSS pair (the 68-PLCC has multiple VDD/VSS pins on pins 11, 12, 31, 32). Add a bulk 10 uF tantalum or ceramic at the board supply entry. The LC process variant draws lower quiescent current but still requires proper decoupling to handle the 4 MHz internal switching transients. Long VDD traces between decoupling caps and the device will cause logic-level noise on MCLR and reset lines.
The 68-PLCC package has a 1.27 mm pitch and a center thermal/epitaxy pad that should be soldered to a moderate copper pour for mechanical robustness. Keep crystal traces (OSC1/OSC2, pins 13/14) short and symmetric, with the load capacitors placed within 5 mm of the pins. Route MCLR (pin 1) separately from high-current switching traces to avoid false resets. Provide a 10 kohm pull-up on MCLR and a 100 nF cap to ground for reset noise immunity.
The PIC16LC923-04I/L is classified NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) by Microchip as of 2026-09-22. For new designs, evaluate the flash-based PIC16F equivalent family first. For long production runs, secure a multi-year allocation agreement with Microchip or qualify a second source now. The PLCC tooling and sockets are increasingly scarce - design team should plan migration to TQFP package if PLCC supply tightens.
Información de cumplimiento
Compliance fields marked unknown because the Verified Web Data does not explicitly state RoHS, REACH, lead-free or halogen-free status. PIC16LC923 family is OTP legacy product; AEC-Q100 not applicable / not qualified. Engineers should request compliance documentation directly from Microchip for production qualification.
