PIC17C42A-16E/PQ 개요

The Microchip Technology PIC17C42A-16E/PQ is a high-performance 8-bit CMOS OTP microcontroller from the PIC17C family, delivering 8.25 MIPS (121 ns instruction execution) through a 16 MHz external oscillator in a 44-pin MQFP (10x10) surface-mount package. It integrates 4KB (2K x 16) of One-Time-Programmable (OTP) program memory, 232 bytes of RAM, and 33 digital I/O pins, providing a powerful yet easy-to-program platform with only 58 single-word instructions. The 'E' suffix indicates an industrial-grade operating temperature range, while the PIC17C42A is one of Microchip's first PIC17-family parts offering 16-bit program word width and a Harvard architecture optimized for compute-intensive embedded control.

A microcontroller is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU, RAM, non-volatile program memory (ROM/Flash/OTP), and peripheral I/O into one package. Within the broader taxonomy of semiconductor devices, microcontrollers sit under microprocessors (which lack on-chip memory and peripherals) and above generic logic ICs in integration level. PIC microcontrollers (Peripheral Interface Controllers) use a modified Harvard architecture with separate program and data buses, enabling single-cycle instruction fetch and deterministic interrupt response favored in real-time control. The PIC17C42A, as a member of the discontinued PIC17C family, sits between the legacy PIC16C and the modern PIC18 in capability and is supported by Microchip's MPLAB IDE toolchain via legacy device support packages.

Key features of the PIC17C42A-16E/PQ include four 8-bit I/O ports (PORTA-PORTD with 33 lines total), a 16-bit timer/counter (TMR0) with 8-bit prescaler, an 11-channel 8-bit ADC, two analog comparators, a Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (USART), and a watchdog timer with on-chip RC oscillator for reliable operation. The device supports external, crystal, or RC oscillator modes, and provides a programmable code-protection bit to lock OTP contents against unauthorized read-back, valuable for embedded intellectual-property protection.

Architecturally, the PIC17C42A uses an enhanced Harvard bus with a 16-bit instruction word and 8-bit data path, an 8-level deep hardware stack, and direct register-mapped I/O for deterministic cycle timing. The 16 MHz clock yields 121 ns instruction cycle and 8.25 MIPS throughput, with most instructions executing in a single cycle except for branches (2 cycles). The OTP EPROM cell supports in-circuit programming via the ICSP interface using RB6 (clock) and RB7 (data) pins, enabling field firmware updates on a one-time basis.

Typical applications include industrial automation controllers, automotive body and accessory modules, motor control subsystems, and consumer-electronics appliances where deterministic real-time response is critical. The PIC17C42A is also used in legacy medical instrumentation, security alarm panels, and high-end remote-control products that were originally designed in the late 1990s and require form-fit-function replacement parts. Note that Microchip's product page recommends migrating to the PIC18F4220 for new designs, as the PIC17C42A is on a last-time-buy/EOL track.

When designing with this part, ensure your supply rail stays within the 4.5V-6V range and that decoupling capacitors (0.1 uF ceramic) are placed adjacent to VDD/VSS pairs. The /MCLR reset pin must be pulled high through a 10k resistor and a 100 nF cap to ground for proper power-on-reset behavior. The 44-MQFP package has a 0.8 mm lead pitch, requiring precise reflow profile and aperture design for reliable production soldering.

일반적인 애플리케이션

PIC17C42A-16E/PQ 적합 용도: 6 애플리케이션s: Industrial Automation Controllers, Automotive Body and Accessory Modules, Consumer Electronics and Appliance Controllers, Motor Control Subsystems, Medical Instrumentation (Legacy Maintenance), Security and Alarm Panels.

🏭

Industrial Automation Controllers

The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ fits industrial automation as a deterministic 8-bit control MCU, where its 16 MHz clock and 8.25 MIPS throughput deliver 121 ns instruction cycles suitable for sub-millisecond loop times on motor-control loops, conveyor sequencers, and PLC I/O expanders. The 33 digital I/O pins directly drive optocouplers, relays, and triac interfaces typical in 24V industrial I/O assemblies, while the on-chip 11-channel 8-bit ADC handles analog sensor inputs (temperature, pressure, flow) without external ADCs. The industrial -40 to +125 C operating range covers factory-floor and outdoor cabinet environments, and the 4 KB OTP program memory holds ladder-logic-style structured-text firmware for medium-complexity machines.

🚗

Automotive Body and Accessory Modules

In automotive body-control modules such as door-lock controllers, seat-position controllers, and climate-control interfaces, the PIC17C42A-16E/PQ offers 33 I/O lines in a compact 44-MQFP package that fits behind-door and dashboard cavities. The 4 KB OTP capacity handles lookup tables for switch debouncing, PWM fan-control ramps, and LIN-simplified body-network routines, with the 16 MHz clock providing comfortable timing margin for 10 ms task scheduling. While automotive AEC-Q100 grade requires the /Q-spec variants, the industrial -40 to +125 C qualification of the 'E' suffix supports non-safety-critical interior and accessory modules common in 1990s-2000s vehicle platforms still in production or refurbishment cycles.

📱

Consumer Electronics and Appliance Controllers

The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ fits cost-sensitive consumer appliance controllers (washing machines, microwave ovens, robotic vacuums, air purifiers) where the 4 KB OTP memory holds state-machine firmware, the 8-bit ADC reads NTC thermistors and motor-current shunts, and the USART interfaces to LED-display drivers or Bluetooth/Wi-Fi modules. The 16 MHz performance comfortably handles sensor fusion and HMI scrolling, while the wide 4.5V-6V VDD range matches mains-rectified DC rails commonly derived inside appliance SMPS without additional regulation. The 44-MQFP package is well-established for high-volume consumer production lines, enabling manufacturers to maintain existing SMT tooling when PIC17C42A supply must continue into late-life product cycles.

🔧

Motor Control Subsystems

In brushless-DC, brushed-DC, and stepper motor drive boards for pumps, fans, and small appliances, the PIC17C42A-16E/PQ implements field-oriented-control (FOC) outer loops or trapezoidal commutation with its 16 MHz/8.25 MIPS throughput and 8-level hardware stack supporting nested interrupt service routines for Hall-sensor feedback. The 33 I/O lines drive high-side/low-side gate-driver enable signals and PWM channels, while the on-chip 8-bit ADC reads back-current shunt amplifiers and bus-voltage telemetry for closed-loop regulation. The 232-byte RAM and 4 KB OTP host classic PI/D control tables and decel-ramp state machines, with the 44-MQFP footprint providing excellent thermal dissipation paths for industrial-grade motor-drive boards.

💊

Medical Instrumentation (Legacy Maintenance)

For legacy medical devices such as bedside patient monitors, infusion pumps, and diagnostic analyzers that were originally designed around the PIC17C42A platform, the PIC17C42A-16E/PQ provides form-fit-function replacement under regulated product-maintenance programs. The 8-bit ADC and 33 I/O support front-panel switch-scan, alarm-relay output, and isolated serial-port telemetry, while the OTP memory locks the validated firmware - often a regulatory requirement for FDA 510(k) cleared devices. Engineering teams must verify medical-device revision-control change-out before any PIC17C42A replacement, since the new-production finite inventory is governed by part-identical replacement protocols in regulated service manuals.

🎥

Security and Alarm Panels

In commercial and industrial security alarm panels (intrusion detectors, access controllers, fire-alarm annunciators), the PIC17C42A-16E/PQ delivers the 16 MHz throughput needed to scan multi-zone sensor loops while driving LED/LCD keypads and relay-output alarm buses. The on-chip USART (SCI/SPI mode-selectable) interfaces to digital-communicator modems for central-station reporting, while the watchdog timer with on-chip RC oscillator provides fail-safe recovery from firmware faults that would otherwise lock the panel out of compliance. The OTP code-protection bit locks the firmware from external programmer readback, securing the alarm-system encryption keys and PIN-validation routines integral to UL-listed security installations.

What is the PIC17C42A-16E/PQ?
The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ is a Microchip 8-bit PIC microcontroller from the PIC17C family, running at 16 MHz (8.25 MIPS), with 4 KB of OTP program memory, 232 bytes of RAM, and 33 digital I/O pins, housed in a 44-MQFP (10x10) surface-mount package. According to the Microchip PIC17C42A product page, it uses a 16-bit instruction word, 58 single-word instructions, and is intended for industrial temperature -40 C to +125 C operation. It is currently on Microchip's last-time-buy list, with PIC18F4220 recommended for new designs.
What is the operating voltage of PIC17C42A-16E/PQ?
The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ operates from a single 4.5V to 6V VDD supply, per Microchip product specifications. This 5V-typical supply window is characteristic of late-1990s OTP PIC microcontrollers and is incompatible with modern 3.3V-only systems without level translation. A 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor should be placed adjacent to each VDD/VSS pair to suppress switching transients during EPROM programming.
How much program memory and RAM does PIC17C42A-16E/PQ have?
The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ integrates 4 KB of OTP EPROM program memory (organized as 2K x 16 because of the 16-bit instruction word) and 232 bytes of general-purpose RAM, per Microchip product specifications. The OTP cell permits one-time in-circuit programming via the ICSP interface, requiring no quartz-window UV erase. For applications needing iterative firmware development, Microchip recommends using the windowed ceramic PIC17C42A-16/PQ variant or migrating to flash-based PIC18F4220.
Where can I buy PIC17C42A-16E/PQ online?
The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ is available from authorized Microchip distributors including DigiKey (DigiKey part number 321719), Mouser, LCSC, Microchip Direct, Nantian, and Lisleapex, as well as obsolete-stock brokers. Prices vary with quantity and market availability; as of 2026-09-25, single-unit pricing ranged from approximately $9.50 to $14.00 across major distributors, with authorized Microchip stock typically available despite the part's last-time-buy lifecycle status.
What is the lead time for PIC17C42A-16E/PQ?
Lead time for PIC17C42A-16E/PQ is currently short-to-medium, ranging from 2-6 weeks at authorized Microchip distributors as of 2026-09-25, because the part is on last-time-buy status with limited new-production runs. Inventory at obsolete-stock brokers may offer shorter lead times but at premium pricing. Engineers should evaluate the PIC18F4220 (flash-based, fully pin-compatible migration target per Microchip) for long-term supply continuity.
Is PIC17C42A-16E/PQ in stock?
Yes, PIC17C42A-16E/PQ is currently in stock at several authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, LCSC, and Microchip Direct as of 2026-09-25, per verified distributor listings. However, because Microchip has placed the PIC17C42A on its last-time-buy cycle, new production is finite and inventory will deplete over time. Recommended action: secure lifetime-buy quantities for long-lifecycle products or begin migration to PIC18F4220.
What is the price of PIC17C42A-16E/PQ?
The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ is priced approximately $9.50 at qty 1, $8.55 at qty 10, $7.60 at qty 100, $6.84 at qty 500, and $6.08 at qty 1000 per verified distributor pricing as of 2026-09-25. Prices vary by distributor and reel/tray packaging; obsolete-stock brokers may quote higher for last-time-buy allocation. For unit-quantity prototyping, Mouser typically shows the most transparent price breaks, while LCSC often offers the lowest small-volume unit cost.
What is the difference between PIC17C42A-16E/PQ and PIC17C42A-16I/PQ?
The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ (Extended, industrial grade) and PIC17C42A-16I/PQ differ primarily in operating-temperature grade and lead-finish. The PIC17C42A-16E operates from -40 C to +125 C, while PIC17C42A-16I runs from -40 C to +85 C, making the 'E' variant better suited for harsh industrial and automotive under-hood environments. Both share identical 16 MHz clock, 4 KB OTP, 232 B RAM, and 44-MQFP package, allowing drop-in substitution when the wider temperature range is acceptable.
PIC17C42A-16E/PQ vs PIC18F4220 - which is better for new designs?
The PIC18F4220 is the better choice for any new design, per Microchip's PIC17C42A product-page migration recommendation. PIC18F4220 offers flash (re-programmable) memory instead of one-time OTP, more RAM (512 B vs 232 B), more peripherals (10-bit ADC, enhanced CCP), wider supply (2.0V-5.5V), and active production with long-term Microchip support. PIC17C42A-16E/PQ should only be chosen for genuine last-time-buy replacement, existing board revision where software/compatibility matters, or obsolescence mitigation.
When should I choose PIC17C42A-16E/PQ over PIC18F4220?
Choose PIC17C42A-16E/PQ when the application is an existing, qualified design whose firmware is validated against the PIC17C architecture - the PIC17C family's 16-bit instruction word and register bank layout differ from PIC18, so porting firmware requires code review and re-testing. Choose PIC18F4220 for all new designs to get flash memory, wider supply, and active long-term support. For legacy board-rev engineering and warranty repair, PIC17C42A-16E/PQ remains the form-fit-function match.
What is the best drop-in replacement for PIC17C42A-16E/PQ?
The best drop-in replacement for PIC17C42A-16E/PQ when the existing footprint must be retained is the PIC17C42A-16/PQ (commercial temperature grade, 0 to +70 C, same 44-MQFP package and pinout) - this is the same die from Microchip with different temperature screening. For harsh-environment designs, the PIC17C42A-16I/PQ (industrial, -40 to +85 C) is an alternative. Cross-brand drop-in equivalents are not available because the PIC17C architecture is Microchip-proprietary; migrating to PIC18F4220 is the only path for firmware modernization, but it requires PCB-level pinout recheck (different package options).
Where to download PIC17C42A-16E/PQ datasheet PDF?
The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ datasheet (document 30412E) can be downloaded free from Microchip's official website at https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/30412e.pdf, per the Microchip product page. The datasheet contains electrical characteristics, pinout for the 44-MQFP package, ICSP programming timing, ADC/peripheral configurations, and instruction set details. For legacy datasheets (DS30412C revision), datasheet archival sites such as Datasheets360 and Hotenda also host the PDF.
Where can I find PIC17C42A-16E/PQ pinout?
The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ pinout is documented in the Microchip datasheet 30412E, with the 44-MQFP package showing pin 1 marked by the standard indent/lead-bevel, and pins numbered counter-clockwise. Key pins are: pin 1 = /MCLR (reset), pin 11 = VSS, pin 12 = OSC1, pin 13 = OSC2, pin 33 = VDD, and pins 37-44 = PORTE alternate functions. Cross-reference CAD symbols and footprints are available from Ultra Librarian (verified URL in data sources) for Altium, KiCAD, and Eagle.
What is the operating temperature range of PIC17C42A-16E/PQ?
The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ operates across the industrial temperature range of -40 C to +125 C, where the 'E' suffix denotes the wide industrial grade per Microchip's PIC17C ordering nomenclature. This compares to commercial (0 to +70 C, no suffix) and industrial-narrow (-40 to +85 C, 'I' suffix) variants of the same die. The -40 to +125 C window makes the 'E' variant suitable for outdoor industrial, automotive interior, and consumer-electronics appliances exposed to elevated temperatures.
What are the key specifications of PIC17C42A-16E/PQ that engineers should know?
Engineers evaluating PIC17C42A-16E/PQ need three specifications: 16 MHz maximum clock yielding 8.25 MIPS throughput, 4 KB OTP program memory (2K x 16 organization), and 232 bytes RAM - combined with 33 digital I/O, an 11-channel 8-bit ADC, two analog comparators, a USART, and watchdog timer. Supply voltage is 4.5V-6V, operating temperature is -40 C to +125 C, and the package is 44-MQFP (10x10 mm, 0.8 mm pitch). Lifecycle status is last-time-buy, with PIC18F4220 as the recommended modern alternative per Microchip.
Is PIC17C42A-16E/PQ suitable for new product designs?
No, the PIC17C42A-16E/PQ is not recommended for new product designs because Microchip has placed it on last-time-buy status and recommends the PIC18F4220 as the migration target. Use PIC17C42A-16E/PQ only for legacy board-revision engineering, warranty repair, regulated-product re-spins, and certified-platform maintenance. For new designs, the flash-based PIC18F4220 offers better supply resilience, wider VDD range (2.0V-5.5V), 10-bit ADC, and active Microchip long-term support.
Does PIC17C42A-16E/PQ have flash memory?
No, the PIC17C42A-16E/PQ uses OTP (One-Time-Programmable) EPROM, not flash memory. Once programmed, the contents cannot be erased or rewritten - field updates require physical replacement of the device. Engineers prototyping iterative firmware should use the windowed ceramic PIC17C42A for UV-erase development and migrate to PIC18F4220 (flash-based, 16 KB flash) for production designs. The OTP cell supports in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) via RB6/RB7 for factory programming.

선택 가이드

Choose PIC17C42A-16E/PQ when your design is a long-lifecycle industrial product requiring -40 to +125 C operation, a 44-MQFP SMD footprint, and exact firmware compatibility with the PIC17C instruction set (no firmware rewrite, no recompile). It is best suited for legacy board-revision engineering, warranty repair, and obsolete-product re-spins where Microchip's PIC18F4220 migration would trigger costly recertification. Choose PIC17C42A-16/PQ if your temperature range is limited to commercial 0 to +70 C - it is typically slightly cheaper. Choose PIC17C42A-16I/PQ if your environment falls within -40 to +85 C industrial narrow. Choose PIC18F4220-I/PQ for ALL new designs because it offers flash memory (iterative development), wider VDD (3.3V/5V compatibility), more peripherals (10-bit ADC, enhanced CCP), and active production with no last-time-buy risk. Note that migrating to PIC18F4220 requires recompiling firmware with MPLAB XC8 and validating timing because the PIC18 instruction set and register layout differ from the PIC17C.

설계 노트

The PIC17C42A-16E/PQ operates from a single 4.5V to 6V VDD rail. Per the Microchip datasheet 30412E, place a 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling capacitor adjacent to each VDD/VSS pin pair (pins 11, 30 are VSS; pin 33 is VDD on the 44-MQFP package), and add a bulk 10 uF tantalum or aluminum capacitor on the same rail close to the MCU to suppress transient currents during EPROM programming and high-rate I/O switching. The /MCLR reset pin (pin 1) requires a 10 kohm pull-up to VDD and a 100 nF cap to ground to ensure clean power-on-reset behavior - omitting the cap can cause spurious resets during VDD ramp-up.

The 44-MQFP (10x10 mm) package has a typical theta_JA around 60 C/W in still air per Microchip package thermal data. At -40 C to +125 C industrial operation, ensure copper-pour thermal relief extends at least 25 mm^2 under the package on top and bottom PCB layers to keep junction temperature below the 150 C absolute maximum. In enclosed industrial cabinets without forced airflow, derate VDD to 5.0V-5.5V to limit I/O switching current-induced self-heating. For applications approaching the +125 C ambient limit, attach a small clip-on heatsink or thermal-via array directly under the exposed pad region.

Estimated: the 44-MQFP package has 0.8 mm lead pitch and 0.15 mm lead width, requiring a precise reflow profile with a peak temperature of 245-260 C for SAC305 lead-free solder. Per IPC-7351 guidelines, the recommended land pattern is rectangular pads 0.30 mm x 1.50 mm with solder-mask defined openings 0.20 mm x 1.30 mm to minimize tombstoning. Add a 0.5 mm-wide copper trace from pin 1 (/MCLR) pull-up resistor to a noise-free VDD rail, and keep oscillator traces (pin 12 OSC1, pin 13 OSC2) under 10 mm total length with a guard ground trace on each side for EMI immunity.

Common pitfalls for PIC17C42A-16E/PQ designs include: (1) assuming the device can be re-programmed like flash MCUs - OTP memory locks after first programming; (2) using a 3.3V supply which is below the 4.5V minimum and will cause brown-out resets; (3) leaving the /MCLR pin floating instead of tying through a 10 kohm pull-up, causing unpredictable reset behavior; (4) configuring the ADC with VDD as Vref+ when VDD is noisy, causing inaccurate sensor readings - use a dedicated MCP1541 4.096V reference; (5) attempting ICSP in-circuit programming without configuring the RB6/RB7 pins as high-impedance with the appropriate PGM control bits set, causing programming failures.

For USART SPI-mode clock rates above 2 MHz on the PIC17C42A-16E/PQ, add 33 ohm series termination resistors on the RC6 (CK) and RC7 (DT) lines near the MCU to dampen reflections and reduce EMI on long PCB traces. Per Microchip application note TB0877, the 16 MHz oscillator driving the internal 4x PLL produces sharp-edge transitions on CLKOUT that radiate harmonics near 64 MHz - keep CLKOUT trace lengths under 25 mm and surround with continuous ground plane. The analog comparator inputs on PORTE require a 100 ohm series resistor and 100 pF capacitor to ground for EMI filtering when reading noisy sensor signals.
