PIC16C57-HSI/SP
PIC16C57-HSI/SP - 8-bit EPROM MCU, 3KB, 20MHz, SPDIP-28 | Microchip
The Microchip PIC16C57-HSI/SP is an EPROM/ROM-based 8-bit CMOS microcontroller from the PIC16C5X family, offering 3KB of one-time-programmable (OTP) program memory, 72 bytes of RAM, and 20 digital I/O pins in a 28-pin SPDIP (Skinny Plastic DIP) through-hole package. It executes most instructions in a single 200ns instruction cycle when clocked from an external 20MHz high-speed oscillator source (the "HSI" speed grade). The device is built on a low-cost, fully-static CMOS architecture featuring a 12-bit-wide instruction word and an 8-bit data path, which delivers approximately 2:1 code compression over competing 8-bit microcontrollers in the same price class.
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, non-volatile program memory, working RAM, and peripheral interfaces such as timers, I/O ports, and interrupt controllers into one package. The PIC16C5X family occupies the entry-level, cost-sensitive tier of the broader 8-bit microcontroller category, sitting below PIC16 enhanced mid-range parts and PIC18 high-performance 8-bit families in the Microchip hierarchy. PIC microcontrollers are widely used as the "brain" of embedded systems that require deterministic real-time response, low power consumption, and reprogrammability during prototyping.
Key features of the PIC16C57-HSI/SP include an 8-bit real-time clock/counter (TMR0) with an 8-bit programmable prescaler, a two-level deep hardware stack for subroutine nesting, and three addressing modes: direct, indirect, and relative. The device offers seven or eight special-function hardware registers, an internal reset circuit, and a watchdog timer option that can be enabled via configuration bits. Power consumption is low due to CMOS technology, with multiple sleep/idle modes for battery-powered designs. I/O pins can source or sink up to 25mA per pin, allowing direct drive of LEDs and small relays.
Typical applications span consumer electronics, appliance control, automotive subsystems, industrial sensor interfaces, and educational/development platforms. The 20 I/O lines support keypad scanning, LED multiplexing, LCD bias generation, and serial communication via bit-banged protocols (UART, SPI, I2C implemented in software). The 28-pin SPDIP package makes the part well suited for hand-soldered prototypes, breadboards, and low-volume production runs where through-hole assembly is preferred.
When designing with the PIC16C57-HSI/SP, note that the part is OTP (one-time-programmable) and does not support in-circuit reprogramming. The "HSI" suffix denotes a high-speed crystal/oscillator mode with a 20MHz maximum frequency, distinct from "RC" (resistor-capacitor timing) and "LP" (low-power crystal) oscillator variants. Choose the HSI version when instruction throughput is critical; choose RC or LP when cost, board space, or power consumption is the priority.
This page synthesizes distributor pricing, package-compatible drop-in alternatives from the same PIC16C5X family, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet. For OEM-scale volumes consider the mask-ROM equivalents (PIC16CR57) for unit-cost reduction once firmware is finalized.
