PIC16LF628A-I/P - 8-Bit 20MHz Flash MCU 3.5KB | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC16LF628A-I/P is an 8-bit RISC PIC16 family microcontroller featuring 3.5KB (2K x 14) of Flash program memory, 224 bytes of SRAM, and 128 bytes of EEPROM data memory, housed in a 18-pin PDIP (0.300 inch, 7.62mm) through-hole package. It executes instructions in a 200 ns cycle time (20 MHz oscillator) and operates from 2.0V to 5.5V with nanoWatt technology for ultra-low-power sleep modes.
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a small computing system on a single integrated circuit that integrates a CPU, RAM, Flash program memory, EEPROM, timers, and peripherals such as ADC, UART, and GPIO. PIC microcontrollers follow the RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) philosophy with only 35 single-word instructions, simplifying code generation in assembly or C (XC8). The PIC16 family sits between the baseline PIC10/12/16 series and the enhanced PIC18/dsPIC families in the Microchip 8-bit hierarchy, making it a workhorse for cost-sensitive embedded designs.
Key features include 16 digital I/O pins capable of driving LEDs directly, two analog comparators with programmable on-chip reference, a USART module for serial communication, capture/compare/PWM (CCP) modules, and three timers (Timer0, Timer1, Timer2). The internal 4 MHz oscillator eliminates the need for an external crystal in many designs, while the internal 48 kHz LF oscillator enables the nanoWatt sleep modes drawing only nA-level standby current.
Architecturally, the PIC16LF628A uses a Harvard bus structure with separate code and data paths, a 14-bit instruction word, and 8-bit data paths. The 'LF' variant supports the wide 2.0V to 5.5V operating range needed for battery-powered designs, distinguishing it from the PIC16F628A which is specified 2.0V to 5.5V with different Flash endurance and voltage characteristics. The part is fully software- and pin-compatible with the PIC16F628A, the PIC16C62XA, the PIC16C5X, and the PIC12CXXX families.
Typical applications include appliance controls, hobby and educational projects, sensor signal conditioning, low-power remote controls, automotive body electronics, and any cost-sensitive embedded node requiring Flash reprogrammability. Designers choose it when 14-bit PIC instruction set familiarity, broad third-party tool support, and wide memory headroom for firmware updates matter.
When designing, ensure the MCLR pin is pulled high through a 10 kohm resistor for normal run mode and consider using the internal oscillator with a 100 nF decoupling capacitor at VDD to suppress digital switching noise from corrupting the analog comparator reference. The CCP and USART peripherals share pins in some configurations, so re-read the pin allocation table before committing to a board layout.
