PIC16CE623-04I/SO - 8-bit OTP MCU 896B | 13 I/O | SOIC-18
The Microchip Technology PIC16CE623-04I/SO is an 8-bit CMOS EPROM-based microcontroller that packs Microchip's powerful PIC architecture into an 18-pin SOIC package. It features 896 bytes of OTP program memory, 96 bytes of RAM, 128 bytes of EEPROM data memory, and 13 digital I/O pins, operating from a 20 MHz clock input (4 MHz internal) with a 200 ns instruction cycle. The "-04" speed designation indicates a 4 MHz oscillator option, while "I" denotes the industrial temperature grade of -40C to +85C.
A microcontroller (MCU) is an integrated circuit that combines a CPU core, program memory, RAM, and configurable peripherals on a single die. The PIC16CE62X family belongs to the mid-range PICmicro lineage, sitting between the baseline 8-bit PIC10/12/16 families and the enhanced 16-bit dsPIC/PIC24 architectures. Compared with discrete logic, an MCU reduces BOM count and PCB area by replacing timers, counters, glue logic, and communication glue with on-chip peripherals. The PIC16CE623 specifically adds EEPROM data memory, allowing non-volatile storage of calibration constants, configuration data, and user-set parameters without external serial EEPROMs.
Key features include 35 single-word instructions (most executed in one instruction cycle, two for program branches), a programmable watchdog timer with on-chip RC oscillator, an internal 4 MHz oscillator option, and a 5-channel 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) on related family members. The PIC16CE623 also includes two analog comparators and a programmable voltage reference, enabling on-board signal conditioning. With 13 bidirectional I/O pins capable of sourcing/sinking 25 mA per pin, the device can directly drive LEDs, relays, and small solenoids.
The device is fabricated in CMOS technology with EPROM program storage and integrated EEPROM data, powered from a single 2.5V to 5.5V supply. It is offered in industrial temperature grade, making it suitable for harsh-environment embedded designs. Per Microchip documentation, all PIC16CE62X parts share the same instruction set and core peripherals, simplifying code migration within the family.
Typical applications include appliance controls, sensor signal conditioning, security and access control panels, low-end remote controls, automotive body electronics subsystems, and small industrial timers and counters. The combination of EPROM, EEPROM, comparators, and 13 I/O makes it well-suited to designs that need analog threshold detection plus logic control in one chip.
When designing with PIC16CE623-04I/SO, note that OTP (One-Time-Programmable) memory cannot be erased, so firmware bugs require device replacement. For prototype development, the pin-compatible PIC16F62X Flash-based family (e.g., PIC16F627A) provides in-circuit reprogrammability on the same 18-pin SOIC footprint.
