PIC16C924-04I/L
PIC16C924-04I/L - 8-bit CMOS MCU with LCD Driver, 4MHz | Microchip
The Microchip PIC16C924-04I/L is a high-performance 8-bit CMOS microcontroller with an integrated LCD driver, supplied in a 68-pin PLCC (L) package, 176 bytes of SRAM, 4K x 14-bit EPROM program memory, and 52 digital I/O lines. It executes a 14-bit instruction set at 4 MHz (200 ns instruction cycle when sourced from the 20 MHz oscillator divided by 4) and operates from a 4.5 V to 6 V supply.
What is an 8-bit microcontroller with LCD driver? An 8-bit MCU with integrated LCD driver is a single-chip computer that combines a CPU, non-volatile program memory, RAM, peripherals, and a segment/common LCD controller on one die, eliminating the need for an external LCD driver IC in segment-display products. Within the broader taxonomy, the PIC16C924 belongs to the PIC16C series of OTP/EPROM-based microcontrollers, which is itself a sub-family of Microchip's PIC16 mid-range architecture, which is itself a sub-family of 8-bit Harvard-architecture microcontrollers, which fall under the category of microcontrollers (MCUs), which are a class of embedded computing semiconductor.
Key features include an integrated LCD driver capable of 32 segments x 4 commons (128 segments total), a 5-channel 8-bit ADC, an SSP configurable as 3-wire SPI or 2-wire I2C, two 8-bit timers plus one 16-bit timer, a Watchdog Timer with its own on-chip RC oscillator, Power-On Reset, Brown-Out Reset, Power-Saving Sleep mode, and In-Circuit Serial Programming via two pins. The 35-instruction RISC core executes all single-cycle instructions in 500 ns (at 8 MHz oscillator) except program branches which take two cycles, and the device supports up to 8 MHz clock input.
Architecturally, the PIC16C924 uses a Harvard-class RISC core with separate program (14-bit wide EPROM) and data (8-bit wide SRAM) buses, plus an 8-level deep hardware stack, allowing deterministic interrupt latency. The on-chip LCD waveform generator handles static, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 multiplexed glass with type-A and type-B waveforms, freeing the CPU from refresh overhead. Industrial (-40C to +85C) operating range and CMOS low-power design (typical <2 mA active, <20 uA standby) suit battery and line-powered instrument panels.
Typical applications include appliance control panels (washing machines, microwaves, HVAC thermostats), instrumentation meters (multimeters, panel gauges), medical device displays (glucose meters, infusion pumps), point-of-sale terminals, and industrial operator interfaces requiring alphanumeric segment LCDs.
Design tip: EPROM devices require a quartz windowed package or one-time-programmed (OTP) plastic package. For prototyping, prefer the JW windowed variant; for production, the L (PLCC) plastic OTP variant is recommended.
