PIC17C44T-16/PQ - 16MHz 8-bit OTP MCU, 44-MQFP | Microchip
MPN: PIC17C44T-16/PQ ✗ اختتامِ زندگیPIC17C44T-16/PQ جائزہ
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU, program memory, RAM, and peripheral I/O on one die. The PIC® 17C family is one of Microchip's high-performance 8-bit lines, with the PIC17C44 positioned as a member of that OTP-programmable subfamily. Within the broader taxonomy, PIC17C44 sits in the hierarchy: PIC17C44 -> PIC® 17C family -> 8-bit microcontroller -> microcontroller -> embedded controller -> semiconductor device. The 'T' suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, and '16' denotes the 16 MHz maximum clock speed. The architecture delivers 8.25 MIPS (121 ns instruction execution) across 58 single-word instructions per the manufacturer.
Key features of the PIC17C44T-16/PQ include an 8-level deep hardware stack, multiple interrupt sources, a versatile 8-bit timer/counter, and a USART peripheral for asynchronous serial communication. The 33 I/O pins are arranged across multiple ports with individually configurable direction registers, and the device supports both polled and interrupt-driven I/O architectures. The OTP program memory enables fast prototyping while preserving one-time field programmability for production units.
Typical applications for the PIC17C44T-16/PQ include industrial control systems, automotive body and chassis electronics, embedded sensor hubs, motor control front-ends, and legacy equipment that requires a pin-compatible upgrade path. Designers also use the PIC17C44 in user-interface controllers, keypad scanners, and small-form-factor appliances where 8-bit performance and modest memory suffice. The 44-pin MQFP footprint is shared across multiple PIC17C4x variants, enabling design reuse across a product family.
When migrating from this part, note that Microchip has explicitly recommended the PIC18F442 as a newer alternative - users requiring a wider tool ecosystem (MPLAB X, XC8 compiler) and Flash memory should consider the PIC18 migration. Existing PIC17C44 designs are typically preserved by sourcing drop-in-compatible PIC17C44 variants with the same MQFP-44 footprint.
This page synthesizes distributor stock levels, drop-in PIC17C4x family replacements, MQFP-44 pinout detail, and design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone.

PIC17C44T-16/PQ کے لیے موزوں ہے 6 ایپلیکیشنs: Industrial Control and Sensor Aggregation, Automotive Body and Chassis Electronics, User Interface and Keypad Controllers, Motor Control Front-End (Brushed DC and Stepper), Legacy Equipment Sustainment and Aftermarket, Small Appliance and Consumer Embedded Control.
Industrial Control and Sensor Aggregation
The PIC17C44T-16/PQ suits industrial control panels where its 33 I/O pins aggregate multiple 4-20 mA loops, switch inputs, and relay outputs through parallel I/O expansion. Its 16 MHz core delivers 8.25 MIPS, which is sufficient for PID loops scanning 8-16 channels at 100 Hz with deterministic latency. The 454-byte RAM holds the runtime stack, scan tables, and last-value buffers for HMI updates. Designers use the USART to bridge the aggregated data to a host PLC or industrial Ethernet gateway. The 4.5-6 V supply aligns with 5 V industrial backplanes, simplifying power-tree design.

Automotive Body and Chassis Electronics
Within automotive body controllers, the PIC17C44T-16/PQ drives seat-position memories, mirror-fold actuators, and lighting multiplexers where 33 I/O pins and a 16 MHz core are sufficient. The OTP program memory suits fixed-function body modules that never need firmware updates. Its 4.5-6 V supply range tolerates automotive cranking transients when paired with proper supply decoupling. The USART bridges to body-control LIN or K-Line networks. Designers should verify AEC-Q100 qualification status with the latest Microchip documentation before vehicle deployment, as legacy PIC17 OTP parts predate modern automotive qualification programs.

User Interface and Keypad Controllers
In user-interface controllers, the PIC17C44T-16/PQ scans 8x8 matrix keypads, drives 7-segment or character LCDs, and reads rotary encoders using its 33 I/O pins and on-chip timers. The 16 MHz core debounces keys, generates scan waveforms, and updates displays at 100 Hz without CPU bottlenecks. The 454-byte RAM supports menu stacks and edit buffers for setting-adjustment modes. The USART enables logging of user actions to a host processor. Designers benefit from the 44-MQFP footprint which provides ample I/O for segmented displays while keeping the board area compact.

Motor Control Front-End (Brushed DC and Stepper)
For low-power brushed-DC and stepper motor pre-drivers, the PIC17C44T-16/PQ generates PWM commutation waveforms, reads Hall sensors or quadrature encoders, and implements current-limit profiles via its timers and I/O. The 16 MHz core updates the PWM duty cycle at 20 kHz with margin for trapezoidal commutation on bipolar steppers. The 33 I/O pins drive H-bridge enable inputs and fault lines for multi-axis systems. The USART streams telemetry to a supervisory controller. The 5 V supply simplifies integration with discrete MOSFET gate drivers.

Legacy Equipment Sustainment and Aftermarket
For sustainment of legacy industrial equipment, the PIC17C44T-16/PQ is a drop-in replacement for installed units where redesign is not feasible. The 44-MQFP footprint and identical 16 KB OTP/454-byte RAM allow technicians to swap a failed unit without firmware porting. The part's wide second-source availability within the PIC17C44 family (industrial-temp, faster speed grades) provides flexibility when lead times vary. Its continued listing on distributor catalogs makes it a pragmatic choice for spares-pool management, capital-equipment maintenance contracts, and obsolescence-management programs.

Small Appliance and Consumer Embedded Control
In small appliances such as washing-machine user-interface boards, coffee machine controllers, and HVAC zone thermostats, the PIC17C44T-16/PQ runs state machines for mode selection, timer logic, and sensor reading. Its 33 I/O drive LED indicators, button inputs, triac-fired loads, and serial displays. The 4.5-6 V supply accepts rectified mains-derived rails without additional regulation. The OTP memory reduces per-unit cost in high-volume SKUs. Designers use the USART to expose diagnostics during factory calibration.

ڈیزائن نوٹس
Place a 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor as close as possible to each VDD/VSS pin pair of the PIC17C44T-16/PQ. Add a single bulk capacitor of 10 uF or larger on the supply rail near the MCU. The 4.5 V to 6.0 V supply range tolerates standard 5 V regulated rails; do not connect directly to unregulated 12 V battery systems without pre-regulation.
Route the 16 MHz crystal traces (OSC1, OSC2) short and symmetric, with the load capacitors placed within a few millimeters of the MCU pins. Keep the crystal loop area small to minimize radiated EMI. For PCB designs migrating from 44-MQFP to 44-TQFP, verify land-pattern compatibility because pad dimensions and pitch differ between the two packages.
The PIC17C44T-16/PQ uses One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory - firmware cannot be updated in the field. Lock the code-protection bits only after final firmware verification, since OTP cannot be reprogrammed. When migrating legacy designs, confirm the new PIC18F442 replacement requires a different toolchain (MPLAB X + XC8) versus legacy PIC17 tools.
The 44-MQFP package dissipates modest power at the 16 MHz core speed; for typical digital I/O loads, no external heatsink is required. Ensure the PCB copper pour under the exposed pad area (if present) is adequately stitched with thermal vias to the ground plane. Industrial-temperature (-40C to +85C) variants should be specified for harsh environments.
تعمیل کی معلومات
Compliance status for the legacy PIC17C44 family pre-dates current RoHS/REACH documentation standards; RoHS and lead-free status should be confirmed with the specific lot/date code on the shipping label before deployment in RoHS-restricted markets.
