PIC16LC773-I/SS Visão geral
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a programmable integrated circuit that combines a CPU, memory (ROM/RAM), and peripherals on a single die. The PIC16LC773 belongs to the mid-range PIC16 family, sitting between the baseline PIC10/12/16 and the high-performance PIC18 families. It executes one instruction per clock cycle (Harvard RISC architecture), delivering approximately 5 MIPS at 20 MHz, which is competitive with contemporary 8051 and AVR MCUs from this era. Its place in the hierarchy is: PIC16 8-bit MCU -> mid-range microcontroller -> RISC MCU -> embedded controller.
Key features include 22 digital I/O pins, three timers (Timer0, Timer1, Timer2), a 12-bit ADC with up to 8 channels, a USART module for serial communication, an SSP module for SPI/I2C, and a Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) module. The 'LC' prefix designates the low-voltage CMOS process, which reduces power consumption relative to the standard 'C' EPROM variants while retaining OTP programmability.
Technically, the PIC16LC773-I/SS uses a 14-bit instruction set with 35 single-word instructions, 8-level hardware stack, and a Harvard bus architecture that allows simultaneous instruction fetch and data access. The 12-bit ADC provides 8 input channels with 10 us conversion time. Industrial temperature grade (-40C to +85C) is indicated by the '-I' suffix.
Typical applications include industrial control systems, sensor signal conditioning with on-chip ADC, motor control using the CCP/PWM module, low-power embedded instruments, and legacy 5V designs requiring moderate performance. The 28-SSOP package suits space-constrained surface-mount designs.
When designing with this device, note that the OTP memory cannot be reprogrammed; for development or field-upgradeable applications, choose the PIC16C773 (EPROM windowed) or a Flash-based PIC16F equivalent. Provide a 100 nF decoupling capacitor near VDD and ensure MCLR is properly biased for reliable operation.

Aplicações típicas
PIC16LC773-I/SS é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Industrial Process Control, Sensor Signal Conditioning, Motor Control and PWM Drive, Low-Power Embedded Instruments, Building Automation HVAC, Automotive Body Electronics (Legacy).
Industrial Process Control
The PIC16LC773-I/SS suits industrial process control with its 12-bit resolution ADC and 22 digital I/O pins. The 12-bit ADC with 8 channels supports direct interface to 4-20 mA loop transmitters, thermocouples (with cold-junction compensation), and pressure transducers, providing 4096 LSB resolution for precise process variable measurement. The on-chip PWM module drives proportional solenoid valves, motor speed controllers, or heating element control via solid-state relays. Industrial temperature grade (-40C to +85C) ensures reliable operation in factory environments. The 28-SSOP footprint integrates well into DIN-rail controller PCBs.
Recomendado
Sensor Signal Conditioning
The PIC16LC773-I/SS integrates a 12-bit ADC that conditions analog signals from sensors such as load cells, RTDs, and gas detectors. With 8 analog input pins and 12-bit resolution (1 LSB ~1.2 mV at 5V VREF), the MCU digitizes low-level sensor outputs and applies digital filtering before transmitting via USART. The 256-byte RAM buffer accommodates sample averaging algorithms; the 7KB OTP program memory holds calibration tables. The 2.5V-5.5V supply range supports battery-powered remote sensors with low quiescent current draw.
Recomendado
Motor Control and PWM Drive
The PIC16LC773-I/SS provides motor control capability through its Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) module generating PWM signals at up to 20 kHz from the 20 MHz system clock. Combined with Timer2 for period control and USART for command interface, the MCU drives brushed DC motors, low-power stepper drivers, and DC fans. The 22 I/O pins provide direction control lines, enable signals, and fault feedback inputs. The 12-bit ADC samples motor current for closed-loop torque or speed regulation, while the PWM output stage delivers up to 10-bit resolution duty cycle control.
Recomendado
Low-Power Embedded Instruments
The PIC16LC773-I/SS operates from 2.5V-5.5V, supporting battery-powered instruments including handheld multimeters, portable data loggers, and field measurement tools. The 'LC' low-voltage CMOS process reduces active current to approximately 2 mA at 5V/4 MHz and supports sleep mode at <5 uA for extended battery life. The 7KB OTP program memory stores calibration constants and measurement routines; the 12-bit ADC delivers laboratory-grade precision. The 28-SSOP package suits handheld enclosures with limited PCB real estate.
Recomendado
Building Automation HVAC
The PIC16LC773-I/SS fits HVAC building automation subsystems including thermostats, damper controllers, and zone temperature regulators. Its 12-bit ADC reads thermistor bridges with 0.1°C accuracy, while PWM outputs drive proportional hot-water valves or variable-speed fan motors. The USART interfaces with central building management systems via RS-485 transceivers. Industrial temperature grade tolerates equipment room environments. The OTP memory secures proprietary HVAC control algorithms against unauthorized firmware modification by competitors.
Recomendado
Automotive Body Electronics (Legacy)
Although not AEC-Q100 qualified, the PIC16LC773-I/SS historically served automotive body electronics applications including interior lighting controllers, seat position memory modules, and accessory multiplexers. Its 22 I/O pins handle switch inputs and relay outputs; the 12-bit ADC monitors battery voltage and temperature sensors. For new automotive designs, the AEC-Q100 qualified PIC16F876A-I/SS or PIC16F877-I/P is recommended, but legacy systems can continue using the PIC16LC773-I/SS with appropriate derating and qualification documentation.

Notas de projeto
Place a 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the VDD pin (pin 20) with short traces to VSS (pin 19). Add a bulk capacitor (10 uF tantalum or aluminum) at the board power input. The PIC16LC773-I/SS has dual VDD/VSS pairs (pins 7/8 alternative and pins 19/20 main); connect both pairs even if only pin 19/20 is the primary supply. Estimated: total IC current draw at 20 MHz/5 V is approximately 15-20 mA active.
Route the MCLR pin (pin 1) with a 10 kV pull-up resistor to VDD and a 100 nF capacitor to VSS for proper reset behavior. The ICSP clock (PGC, pin 27) and data (PGD, pin 28) lines should have series resistors (~10 kV) if long traces are required to the programming connector. Keep analog inputs (RA0-RA5) physically separated from digital switching traces to minimize ADC noise coupling. Use a ground plane under the MCU for low-impedance return paths.
Do not assume OTP memory can be rewritten - the PIC16LC773-I/SS is One-Time-Programmable and only supports a single programming operation per address. For development or field-upgradeable designs, choose the PIC16F876-I/SS (Flash) instead. Ensure configuration bits are set correctly (oscillator selection, watchdog timer, code protection) before programming - incorrect config bits can lock the device or prevent ICSP access. Maximum VDD is 5.5 V; exceeding this damages the device.
