PIC16C716T-20E/SS - 8-bit 20MHz OTP MCU 3.5KB Flash | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC16C716T-20E/SS is an 8-bit CMOS OTP microcontroller in the PIC16C family, offering 3.5KB (2K x 14) of one-time programmable program memory, 128 bytes of RAM, and 13 I/O pins. It runs at 20MHz with a 200ns instruction cycle, housed in a 20-pin SSOP (5.30mm body) package, and operates from a 4V to 5.5V supply.
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU, memory (ROM/RAM), and peripherals around an 8-bit data path. Within the broader product taxonomy, the PIC16C716 belongs to the PIC16C family of mid-range PIC microcontrollers, which are OTP (one-time programmable) CMOS devices sitting below the PIC18 family in performance and above the PIC12C baseline family. PIC MCUs use a RISC Harvard architecture, a single accumulator (W), and a small fixed instruction set (35 single-word instructions for this part).
Key features include 4 channels of 8-bit A/D converter, a Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) module, 2 additional timers (Timer1 16-bit, Timer2 8-bit) beyond the base Timer0, brown-out reset (BOR) circuitry, an 8-bit prescaler, and an in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) interface. The /SS suffix denotes the 20-pin SSOP package; the -20E suffix denotes the 20MHz speed grade with the extended industrial temperature range.
Architecturally, the PIC16C716 uses a 14-bit instruction word with separate program and data buses (Harvard), enabling simultaneous instruction fetch and data access. The 8-bit ADC can source from the 13 GPIO pins configured as analog inputs, providing 8-bit resolution over the supply voltage range. The OTP memory (EPROM-based) supports one-time programming via ICSP, suitable for low-volume production, prototyping, and legacy system maintenance.
Typical applications include industrial control logic, sensor signal conditioning, motor control PWM drivers, low-speed data acquisition, appliance control, and embedded automotive subsystems. The 20MHz clock and integrated A/D make it well-suited for cost-sensitive closed-loop control tasks.
When designing with this device, ensure that OTP memory constraints are acceptable for production. If firmware updates are required, choose the Flash-based PIC16F716 or PIC16F707 in the same 20-pin SSOP footprint for software drop-in compatibility.
