PIC16C711T-04/SO - 8-Bit 4MHz OTP MCU 1.75KB | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC16C711T-04/SO is a CMOS, RISC-based 8-bit microcontroller built on the PIC16 mid-range core, integrating 1.75KB (1K x 14) of one-time-programmable (OTP) program memory, 68 bytes of RAM, and 13 digital I/O pins. Housed in an 18-pin SOIC package, the part operates at a 4MHz oscillator frequency with a 200ns instruction cycle, executes 35 single-word instructions, and is upward compatible with the PIC16C5X and PIC12CXXX families, easing firmware migration for legacy designs.
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU, memory (program + data), and programmable I/O peripherals into one package. The PIC16C711 sits within the broader taxonomy: microcontroller -> embedded processor -> integrated circuit -> semiconductor. OTP MCUs are programmed once via dedicated programmers and retain code without a battery, distinguishing them from flash-based parts. Mid-range PIC MCUs target cost-sensitive, deterministic control applications where simplicity, low cost, and predictable interrupt latency outweigh large memory footprints.
Key features of the PIC16C711 include four channels of 8-bit A/D conversion with on-chip sample-and-hold, an internal 4MHz RC oscillator option, power-on reset, watchdog timer with on-chip RC oscillator, code protection, and a wide operating voltage range that supports both 5V regulated and battery-powered designs. The 'T-04' suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging and the 4MHz speed grade, while the 'I' or 'E' variants extend the industrial temperature range to -40C to +125C. The SOIC-18 footprint is one of the most common surface-mount 8-bit MCU packages, allowing hand-prototyping and reflow assembly.
Architecturally, the PIC16C711 uses a 14-bit instruction word, an 8-bit data path, and a two-stage pipeline, giving an effective throughput of 5 MIPS at 20MHz. The Harvard-style separate program and data buses allow the next instruction to be fetched while the current one executes, a hallmark of PIC performance efficiency. The integrated ADC draws from a dedicated reference and the device's VDD rail, simplifying sensor-interface designs that previously required an external converter.
Typical applications for the PIC16C711T-04/SO include consumer appliance control, automotive interior modules, sensor signal conditioning, simple motor control loops, security alarm keypads, HVAC damper drivers, low-cost battery chargers, and embedded educational platforms. The 5V operating point and 13 I/O pins make it well suited to interfacing 5V logic peripherals and analog sensor front-ends without level translation. Microchip explicitly recommends the flash-based PIC16F716 as a modern, drop-in-compatible replacement for new designs.
When designing with this part, ensure programmer compatibility (PICSTART Plus, MPLAB PM3, or third-party OTP programmers) and confirm that your tool chain supports OTP mid-range PIC devices. Because OTP cannot be reprogrammed, allocate engineering time to in-system emulation via MPLAB ICE or a PIC16F716 flash equivalent during firmware bring-up before committing the OTP one-time programming budget.
