PIC16C72AT-20E/SS Visão geral
An 8-bit PIC microcontroller (MCU) is a Harvard-architecture CMOS device that executes a compact, mostly single-cycle instruction set optimized for embedded control. Within Microchip's product tree, the PIC16C72A sits in the PIC16 mid-range family, which itself belongs to the broader 8-bit PIC microcontroller category and ultimately to the microcontroller branch of integrated circuits. OTP program memory allows one-time factory or field programming via a device programmer, making the part well-suited to production runs where flash reprogrammability is not required.
Key features include 35 single-word instructions, all single-cycle except for program branches (2 cycles), four interrupt sources, an internal oscillator option, and a watchdog timer with its own on-chip RC oscillator. The 22 I/O pins each sink up to 25 mA and source up to 20 mA, allowing direct drive of LEDs and small relays without external drivers. The high-performance RISC CPU executes most instructions in 200 ns at 20 MHz, deterministic timing that simplifies real-time control loops.
Typical applications include industrial automation and process control, appliance control boards, automotive body electronics (non-safety subsystems), sensor signal conditioning front-ends, and small consumer products. The wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C for the 'E' industrial grade) and proven OTP silicon make it a reliable choice for mature designs.
When designing with this device, ensure the MCLR reset circuit follows Microchip application note recommendations, and place a 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor within 6 mm of each VDD pin to suppress switching noise on the analog reference.

Aplicações típicas
PIC16C72AT-20E/SS é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Industrial Process Control, Appliance Control Boards, Automotive Body Electronics, Sensor Signal Conditioning, Consumer Product Controllers, HVAC Control Modules.
Industrial Process Control
The PIC16C72AT-20E/SS fits industrial process control with its 8-bit PIC16 RISC core running 5 MIPS at 20 MHz, deterministic 200 ns single-cycle instruction timing, and 5-channel 8-bit ADC for sensor acquisition. Its 22 I/O pins each sink 25 mA to directly drive relays, solenoids, and indicator LEDs without external drivers, reducing BOM in a typical sensor and motor assembly. The OTP program memory and -40 to +125 C industrial temperature grade support long-life factory-floor deployment where flash reprogrammability is not required. Per Microchip application note AN1066, the integrated watchdog timer with its own RC oscillator improves reliability against runaway code.
Recomendado
Appliance Control Boards
The PIC16C72AT-20E/SS is well suited for washing machine, dishwasher, and HVAC appliance control boards where its 20 MHz PIC16 core, 22 I/O pins, and integrated USART drive triac-fired motor controls, sensor multiplexing, and front-panel key scans. The 5-channel 8-bit ADC reads temperature, water level, and motor current while the capture/compare/PWM module generates timing for brushless DC motor commutation. The OTP-only architecture gives a cost advantage over flash parts in high-volume appliance production where firmware is finalized before ramp. Per Microchip mid-range reference manual DS33023, the deterministic interrupt latency simplifies IEC 60730 class B safety software development.
Recomendado
Automotive Body Electronics
The PIC16C72AT-20E/SS handles non-safety automotive body-electronics modules including HVAC blend-door actuators, seat-position controllers, mirror adjusters, and interior lighting drivers, where its industrial -40 to +125 C temperature grade tolerates under-hood and cabin thermal swings. The integrated USART talks to body-network transceivers, while the 5-channel ADC reads position feedback and ambient light sensors. Note that this device is NOT AEC-Q100 qualified, so it is restricted to non-safety subsystems - choose an AEC-Q100-qualified PIC18 part for safety-critical ECUs. Per Microchip application note AN246, the on-chip EEPROM emulation in OTP provides calibration storage.
Recomendado
Sensor Signal Conditioning
The PIC16C72AT-20E/SS conditions analog sensor signals in industrial and consumer measurement products where its 5-channel 8-bit ADC, 128-byte RAM, and 20 MHz PIC16 core support 5 kHz sample rates with on-chip averaging. The 22 I/O pins drive status LEDs, keypad scans, and segment LCD multiplexers, while the integrated USART streams conditioned data to a host controller. The OTP-only architecture minimizes unit cost in high-volume sensor transmitters where firmware is locked at production. Per the PIC16C72A datasheet, the ADC achieves +/- 1 LSB typical INL and DNL under recommended operating conditions.
Recomendado
Consumer Product Controllers
The PIC16C72AT-20E/SS powers consumer product controllers such as coffee makers, blenders, and small kitchen appliances where its 20 MHz PIC16 core, 22 I/O pins, and integrated ADC handle temperature, motor speed, and user-interface tasks in a single chip. The OTP-only memory cuts unit cost versus flash parts when firmware is finalized before production ramp. The 25 mA sink capability drives seven-segment LED displays and small DC loads without external transistors. Per Microchip application note AN557, the integrated capture/compare/PWM module simplifies brushless DC fan control in consumer products.
Recomendado
HVAC Control Modules
The PIC16C72AT-20E/SS runs HVAC control modules where its 5-channel 8-bit ADC reads return-air temperature, supply-air temperature, humidity sensors, and pressure transducers, while the capture/compare/PWM module modulates blower motor speed and damper actuators. The integrated USART links to wall thermostats and zoning modules, and the 128-byte RAM buffers diagnostic logs. The -40 to +125 C industrial temperature grade handles attic and outdoor HVAC installations. Per Microchip application note AN897, the on-chip EEPROM emulation via OTP write/read patterns stores calibration constants.

Notas de projeto
Estimated: VDD current draw for the PIC16C72AT-20E/SS at 20 MHz is approximately 15 mA active plus 2 mA per output pin loaded to 25 mA sink. Bulk-decouple VDD with 10 uF tantalum plus 0.1 uF ceramic within 6 mm of the VDD pin, and place a 0.1 uF capacitor on the AVSS-to-AVDD pair when using the ADC for clean analog reference.
Route the 20 MHz crystal traces symmetrically with short, matched lengths to OSC1 and OSC2, and place load capacitors within 3 mm of the oscillator pins. Per Microchip application note AN588, the ICSP pins (RB6/PGC, RB7/RB3-PGD) need a 10 kohm pull-up on MCLR/VPP for in-circuit serial programming - leaving this off prevents production programming.
Do not connect analog inputs above VDD + 0.3 V - the ADC input clamps will draw current and shift reference. The 'E' temperature grade part must be operated within 4.0 V to 5.5 V; operation below 4.0 V causes erratic ADC readings and brown-out resets. For in-system debug, do not drive PGC or PGD above VDD - programming failures and latch-up can occur.
