PIC16C620AT-04I/SO - 8-Bit 4MHz OTP MCU 896B 18-SOIC | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC16C620AT-04I/SO is an 8-bit PIC16C-series CMOS microcontroller based on the RISC architecture, featuring a 4 MHz maximum clock speed, 896 bytes of one-time programmable (OTP) program memory organized as 512 × 14 words, and 96 bytes of RAM, housed in a surface-mount 18-pin SOIC (300 mil) package supplied on tape and reel.
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU, program memory, data RAM, and peripherals such as timers, comparators, and I/O ports into one package. PIC microcontrollers are positioned within the broader hierarchy: microcontroller -> embedded controller -> semiconductor device. The PIC16C62x family uses a RISC-style Harvard architecture with a small instruction set (35 single-word instructions), making it well-suited for simple, cost-sensitive embedded control.
Key features include 13 digital I/O pins, an internal 4 MHz oscillator option, two analog comparators with programmable reference, a 16-bit timer/counter (Timer0) with 8-bit prescaler, an 8-bit timer/counter (Timer2) with 8-bit period register and prescaler/postscaler, a watchdog timer with its own on-chip RC oscillator, an operating voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V (3.3 V/5 V typical), and a brown-out reset circuit. The '04' speed grade specifies a 4 MHz maximum oscillator, and the 'I' suffix denotes the industrial -40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature range. The 'T' suffix in the MPN indicates tape-and-reel packaging.
The PIC16C620A employs an OTP EPROM program memory cell, meaning the program is written once at programming time and is not erasable, which is appropriate for high-volume, fixed-function production units. The core executes most instructions in a single 200 ns instruction cycle at 20 MHz (or 1 µs at 4 MHz), with a 14-bit instruction word. The device includes power-saving SLEEP mode, in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) via two pins, and an internal 4 MHz RC oscillator that can be selected to reduce external component count.
Typical applications include appliance control (washing machines, microwave ovens, coffee makers), automotive body electronics (interior lighting, seat controllers, simple sensor interfaces), industrial control (small motor drivers, fan controllers, sensor signal conditioning), consumer electronics (remote controls, toys, small appliances), and smart-home devices (thermostats, doorbells, simple sensor nodes). Its small footprint, low cost, and integrated analog comparators make it well suited for replacing discrete logic in legacy designs.
When designing with this device, choose either the internal 4 MHz RC oscillator or an external crystal/RC network depending on timing accuracy requirements. The OTP memory means firmware must be fully validated before programming; design for in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) to allow field updates via blank-device programming at production. The 18-pin SOIC requires standard 300-mil SOIC land patterns.
