PIC16LC77T-04/L - 4MHz 8-bit OTP MCU 14KB Flash 44-PLCC | Microchip
The Microchip PIC16LC77T-04/L is an 8-bit RISC microcontroller in the PIC16C mid-range family, offering 14 KB (8K x 14) of One-Time-Programmable (OTP) program memory, 368 bytes of RAM, and 33 digital I/O pins, housed in a 44-pin PLCC (J-Lead) package supplied on Tape & Reel. It operates at up to 4 MHz from a 3.3 V or 5 V supply (the "LC" prefix denotes the low-voltage/commercial variant), and integrates a multi-channel 8-bit A/D converter, capture/compare/PWM modules, USART, and synchronous serial port. The "T" suffix in the MPN indicates Tape & Reel packaging, while "-04" denotes the 4 MHz maximum oscillator speed grade, and "/L" specifies the 44-pin PLCC J-lead package.
An 8-bit PIC microcontroller (MCU) is a small, low-power computer-on-a-chip built around a Harvard-architecture RISC CPU with separate program and data buses, a fixed instruction set, and integrated peripherals such as timers, A/D converters, and serial interfaces. Within the broader taxonomy, this device sits at: PIC16C7X -> PIC16 family -> PIC microcontroller -> 8-bit MCU -> microcontroller -> embedded processor -> semiconductor. PIC mid-range MCUs are widely used for deterministic, low-cost control applications because the 14-bit instruction word keeps code density high while the RISC pipeline delivers predictable interrupt latency.
Key differentiating specifications of the PIC16LC77T-04/L include 14 KB OTP program memory organized as 8K x 14 bits, 368 bytes of data RAM, 33 I/O pins with high-current sink/source capability, an integrated 8-bit A/D converter with up to 8 input channels, two 8-bit timers plus one 16-bit timer, a USART for asynchronous/synchronous serial communication, and a master/slave SSP. The 44-pin PLCC package provides a socket-replaceable, surface-mount form factor useful for prototyping and field serviceability.
Architecturally, the device uses a RISC core with 35 single-cycle instructions, a 14-bit instruction word, and a 4 MHz internal clock that yields a 250 ns instruction cycle. The Brown-out Reset (BOR), Power-on Reset (POR), and Watchdog Timer (WDT) with on-chip RC oscillator provide reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments, while the wide operating voltage range (typically 2.5 V to 6.0 V for the LC variant) supports both 3.3 V and 5 V system rails.
Typical applications include industrial process control, motor control front-ends, instrumentation data acquisition, security system panels, automotive body electronics (non-safety), HVAC controllers, and general-purpose embedded control. The combination of OTP memory, integrated ADC, and USART also suits remote sensor hubs and simple human-machine interface (HMI) controllers.
When designing with this part, note that OTP memory cannot be electrically erased - prototypes should use the windowed (UV-erasable) PIC16LC77-04/L variant during development, and production code must be fully verified before programming. Decoupling should include a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the VDD pin, with a 10 µF bulk capacitor at the regulator output.
