PIC16C924-04/L Visão geral
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a small computer-on-a-chip combining a CPU, RAM, non-volatile program memory, and peripherals. The PIC family, a Harvard-architecture RISC design, sits within the broader hierarchy: MCU → microcontroller → embedded processor → semiconductor. OTP EPROM-based PIC16C parts are one-time-programmable and targeted at mature, cost-sensitive embedded products where code is finalized in production.
Key features include 7 KB (4K × 14) of OTP EPROM program memory, 192 bytes of SRAM data memory, 52 digital I/O lines, a 5-channel 8-bit ADC, an LCD driver with 32 segments and 4 commons, a Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) module, a Watchdog Timer (WDT), Power-On Reset (POR), and brown-out detection. The synchronous serial port supports both SPI and I²C master/slave modes. The instruction set is only 35 single-word instructions, all single-cycle except branch instructions.
The PIC16C924-04/L uses a high-performance RISC engine with a 14-bit instruction word, an 8-level hardware stack, and direct/indirect addressing modes. The external oscillator interface supports XT, HS, and RC modes for the /04 speed grade. Power management includes POR, brown-out reset, and a Watchdog Timer with its own on-chip RC oscillator for reliable operation.
Typical applications include LCD-based human-machine interfaces, appliance control panels, industrial meters, automotive instrument clusters, and embedded control boards with text/graphical displays. The integrated LCD driver eliminates the need for an external segment driver in cost-sensitive designs, while the 5-channel ADC supports sensor monitoring.
When designing with this part, note that the OTP memory means firmware must be finalized before production programming - field upgrades require a windowed (JW) package variant. For prototype work, Microchip recommends the PIC16F924 Flash-based equivalent.

Aplicações típicas
PIC16C924-04/L é adequado para 7 aplicaçãos: LCD-Based Human-Machine Interface (HMI), Appliance Control Panels, Industrial Meters and Instrumentation, Automotive Instrument Clusters (legacy), Point-of-Sale Terminals and Cash Registers, Embedded Control Boards with Text Displays, Medical Monitoring Devices (non-critical).
LCD-Based Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
The PIC16C924-04/L is purpose-built for LCD-based HMI panels in appliances, instruments, and consumer electronics, integrating a 32-segment × 4-common LCD driver on-chip that drives up to 128 pixels without external segment drivers. Placed between user buttons and the LCD glass, it scans keypad inputs on PORTA/PORTB while refreshing the display via its integrated charge pump and bias generator, reducing BOM cost by $0.30-$0.50 vs designs using a separate LCD driver IC. The 5-channel 8-bit ADC reads analog sensors (temperature, level, voltage) for display on the LCD. Engineers typically choose this part over FPGA or higher-pinout MCUs when the LCD pixel count fits within 32×4 and code volume stays under 7 KB.
Recomendado
Appliance Control Panels
The PIC16C924-04/L fits appliance front-panel controls (washing machines, ovens, microwaves) where a custom-segment LCD shows cycle, time, and status. Its 52 I/O pins drive keypads, LEDs, relay drivers, and triac controls while the integrated LCD driver handles the display glass directly. Operating from a 4-6V supply aligns with rectified 5V rails common in white goods. Compared to a discrete MCU + external LCD driver approach, this single-chip solution reduces PCB area by ~30% and simplifies firmware since the LCD refresh runs in hardware.
Recomendado
Industrial Meters and Instrumentation
In industrial digital panel meters, multimeters, and process indicators, the PIC16C924-04/L provides 5 channels of 8-bit ADC for measuring voltage, current, or sensor outputs while its LCD driver displays the measured value. The PIC RISC core executes averaging, scaling, and unit-conversion algorithms in real time at 4 MHz instruction rate, while the SPI/I²C port connects to external EEPROM for calibration data. Engineers prefer this part for low-cost, low-power metering where the integrated LCD removes the need for a separate display controller and the OTP memory locks in calibration firmware.
Recomendado
Automotive Instrument Clusters (legacy)
For cost-sensitive automotive instrument clusters (fuel, temperature, gauge displays), the PIC16C924-04/L's integrated LCD driver supports the segmented LCD glass typical of dashboard readouts, while its ADC channels read sensor inputs from fuel-level and temperature senders. Although commercial temperature grade limits this to non-engine-bay applications, the part has a long legacy footprint in body-electronics clusters. For under-hood use, the industrial-grade PIC16C924-04I/L variant is the recommended upgrade. The 52 I/O lines also drive tell-tale LEDs and backlight control.
Recomendado
Point-of-Sale Terminals and Cash Registers
Legacy point-of-sale terminals and electronic cash registers use the PIC16C924-04/L to drive operator LCDs, scan keypad input, and communicate with printer and drawer peripherals via SPI or I²C. The 7 KB OTP EPROM holds transaction logic and lookup tables, while 192 bytes of SRAM provides working buffer for receipts. Compared to discrete logic implementations, the integrated MCU+LCD combination reduces component count from ~15 discrete ICs to one chip. For new POS designs, the Flash-based PIC16F924 family is preferred for firmware update flexibility.
Recomendado
Embedded Control Boards with Text Displays
The PIC16C924-04/L serves as the main MCU on small embedded control boards that need a character-LCD interface, digital I/O for sensors and actuators, and serial ports for host communication. Typical boards include HVAC zone controllers, security keypads, and access-control panels. Its 35-instruction RISC core simplifies firmware development, while the integrated LCD and ADC peripherals eliminate two companion ICs. Compared to higher-end ARM Cortex-M0 alternatives, the PIC16C924-04/L offers a lower-cost BOM at the expense of Flash reprogrammability.
Recomendado
Medical Monitoring Devices (non-critical)
Non-critical medical monitoring devices such as blood-pressure cuffs, digital thermometers, and pill dispensers use the PIC16C924-04/L for sensor readout (via 8-bit ADC) and LCD display of measurements. The OTP EPROM locks in validated clinical firmware, preventing accidental field modification - a regulatory advantage in some medical device classifications. With 7 KB of program memory, the device holds full algorithm code for measurement and calibration. For designs requiring IEC 60601 isolation or extended temperature, the industrial-grade PIC16C924-04I/L is recommended.

Notas de projeto
OTP EPROM memory is one-time-programmable - once a bit is programmed to 0 it cannot be returned to 1. This means production firmware must be fully validated before programming. For prototype or development work, use the PIC16C924/CL windowed ceramic package variant which allows EPROM erasure via UV light. Engineering samples and pre-production units should always use the windowed package.
The PIC16C924-04/L operates from a 4V to 6V supply; designing for 5V ±10% (4.5V-5.5V) is recommended to leave margin for regulator tolerance. The MCLR reset pin requires a rising-edge slew rate above the minimum Vih specification, otherwise the device may enter an undefined state. A 10 kΩ pull-up to VDD plus a 100 nF cap to ground on MCLR is the standard Microchip reference circuit. Brown-out reset should be enabled in configuration fuses to ensure defined startup below 4V.
The 68-pin PLCC package uses J-leads with 1.27 mm pitch. Place a continuous ground plane under the device for stable ADC readings - the 5-channel 8-bit ADC requires low-noise analog supplies. Decouple VDD pins with 100 nF ceramic capacitors placed within 5 mm of each supply pin, plus a single 10 µF tantalum or aluminum polymer bulk capacitor near the IC. The LCD segment/com outputs are high-impedance - keep traces short and away from switching signals to avoid ghosting.
The synchronous serial port (SSP) can be configured for SPI or I²C, but in I²C mode the SDA/SCL pins are open-drain and require external pull-up resistors (typically 4.7 kΩ for 100 kHz, 2.2 kΩ for 400 kHz). The OSC1/OSC2 pins driving a crystal should be guarded by a ground plane and kept away from the LCD segment outputs to avoid coupling noise into the oscillator. The ADC reference (RA3/VREF) should be bypassed with 10 µF + 100 nF for accurate conversions.
