PIC16F876AT-I/SS
PIC16F876AT-I/SS - 14KB Flash 8-bit MCU 20MHz SSOP-28 | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC16F876AT-I/SS is a high-performance 8-bit CMOS FLASH-based microcontroller from the PIC® 16F family, offering 14KB (8K x 14 words) of on-chip program memory, 368 bytes of RAM, and 256 bytes of EEPROM data memory in a 28-pin Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP). It executes instructions in a 200 ns cycle at 20 MHz clock input and is supported by 22 digital I/O pins, a 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter with up to 5 channels, two analog comparators, USART, MSSP (SPI/I²C), and two 8/16-bit timer/counters with capture/compare/PWM modules.
A microcontroller (MCU) is an integrated circuit that combines a CPU core, non-volatile program memory, RAM, and configurable peripherals into a single chip. Within the broader taxonomy, the PIC16F876A belongs to the 8-bit MCU family, derived from the RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architectural lineage, which uses a small fixed instruction set (35 single-word instructions for PIC16 mid-range) to simplify decoding and accelerate execution. MCUs sit within the semiconductor hierarchy alongside microprocessors, DSPs, and FPGAs, and are the foundational building block of embedded systems. Mid-range PIC16 devices strike a balance between 8-bit simplicity and integrated peripherals, making them common in industrial control, instrumentation, and consumer products.
Key features that distinguish the PIC16F876A include its self-programmable FLASH memory (ICD/in-circuit debugger support), five channels of 10-bit ADC, two analog comparators with programmable reference, USART for asynchronous/synchronous serial, MSSP supporting SPI master/slave and I²C master/slave, and Capture/Compare/PWM modules. The 256-byte EEPROM is rated for 1 million erase/write cycles typical and supports data retention beyond 40 years. Brown-out Reset (BOR), Power-on Reset (POR), and the Watchdog Timer with its own on-chip RC oscillator deliver robust autonomous recovery. Operating voltage spans 2.0 V to 5.5 V, allowing operation from a single lithium cell up to a regulated 5 V rail.
Typical applications include industrial sensor nodes with on-board A/D conversion, motor control (small DC and stepper drivers via PWM), HVAC thermostat controllers, battery chargers (CC/CV profiles), consumer appliances (coffee machines, washing machines), and serial-bus peripherals (RS-485 slave nodes, I²C sensor front-ends). The 28-pin SSOP footprint is pin-compatible across the PIC16F873A/876A family, allowing memory-upgrade flexibility without PCB rework.
Design consideration: when migrating firmware between the 28-pin PIC16F873A (7KB Flash), PIC16F876A (14KB Flash), and 40/44-pin PIC16F874A/877A (14KB/28KB Flash), ensure that pin assignments for the A/D converter channels and the parallel slave port (PSP, only on 40/44-pin variants) are reviewed against the target pinout. The 'T' suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, and the 'I' indicates the industrial -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
