PIC16C57T-10/SS - 8-Bit 10MHz 3KB OTP MCU 28-SSOP | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC16C57T-10/SS is a member of the PIC16C5X family of low-cost, high-performance, 8-bit fully-static EPROM/ROM-based CMOS microcontrollers, delivering 10 MIPS performance at a 10 MHz clock in a 28-pin SSOP package. The device integrates 3 KB (2K x 12) of One-Time Programmable (OTP) program memory, 72 bytes of general-purpose RAM, and 20 digital I/O pins organized across multiple ports. Operating from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V single supply, the PIC16C57T-10/SS supports the standard PIC16C5X instruction set with 12-bit wide, highly symmetrical opcodes that deliver 2:1 code compression over other 8-bit microcontrollers in its class.
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that contains a CPU, program memory, data memory, and I/O peripherals. Within the broader taxonomy, the PIC16C57T-10/SS is a Harvard-architecture 8-bit RISC microcontroller in the legacy PIC16C5X base-line family, which sits under the umbrella of embedded controllers and semiconductor ICs. The 'T' suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging for high-volume SMT assembly, while '/SS' specifies the 28-pin SSOP (5.30 mm body width) footprint.
Key features include a 10 MHz external oscillator, internal watchdog timer, power-on reset, brown-out detection, and an 8-bit timer/counter with programmable prescaler. The device consumes only 2 mA typical at 5 V / 10 MHz and supports four oscillator modes (RC, LP, XT, HS) to trade off power versus clock accuracy. The 20 I/O pins can directly sink/source up to 25 mA per pin, enabling direct LED drive and eliminating external driver buffers in many cost-sensitive designs.
Architecturally, the PIC16C57T-10/SS uses a 12-bit instruction word with separate program and data buses, a 2-stage pipeline, and a 33 single-word instruction set. The OTP program memory allows one-time field programming for low-NRE prototypes and short production runs; for high-volume runs, Microchip offers mask-ROM (-10/SS with no 'T') equivalents. Compared to flash-based successors such as the PIC16F57, the OTP die provides lower cost at the expense of non-erasable code storage.
Typical applications include appliance control, security-system keypads, HVAC fan controllers, battery chargers, simple sensor interfaces, and white-goods user-interface boards. Its wide operating temperature range and EPROM-based reliability make it especially suited to industrial-grade equipment where long-term firmware stability is required. The 28-SSOP package balances compactness with hand-solder-friendly lead pitch for low-volume production.
When designing with this part, allocate the I/O budget early - 20 pins must cover all keypad scanning, LED driving, and sensor I/O. Because OTP memory cannot be updated in the field, design the firmware revision flow to use windowed EPROM prototypes (PIC16C57-10/P in CERDIP) before committing to OTP production. The 'T' suffix indicates tape-and-reel only, not a different temperature grade; the standard part operates over 0°C to +70°C commercial range.
