PIC16LC622-04I/P - 4MHz 8-Bit CMOS MCU, 3.5KB OTP | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC16LC622-04I/P is an 8-bit CMOS EPROM-based microcontroller (MCU) belonging to the PIC® 16C family, operating at up to 4 MHz clock speed with 3.5 KB (2K x 14) of One-Time-Programmable (OTP) program memory, 128 bytes of RAM, and 13 I/O pins, housed in a 18-pin PDIP (0.300 inch, 7.62 mm) through-hole package.
An 8-bit microcontroller is a single-chip computer built around an 8-bit data path, integrating a CPU, RAM, non-volatile program memory, and peripherals such as timers, interrupts, and I/O ports on a single die. The PIC16LC622 sits within the broader taxonomy as: microcontroller -> 8-bit MCU -> PIC16 family -> PIC16C sub-family -> CMOS EPROM-based device -> semiconductor IC. This LC variant is the low-power CMOS process version (vs. the PIC16C622 EPROM die), typically offering wider operating voltage and lower quiescent current than the original PIC16C62x parts.
Key features of the PIC16LC622-04I/P include 12-bit wide instructions, an 8-bit wide data path, seven or eight special-function hardware registers, a two-level deep hardware stack, and direct, indirect, and relative addressing modes. The '04' speed grade indicates 4 MHz maximum oscillator input, and the 'I' suffix denotes the industrial temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. Supply voltage is specified at 2.5 V to 6.25 V, enabling operation from two or three alkaline cells up to a regulated 5 V rail.
Architecturally, the PIC16LC622 is built on Microchip's classic Harvard RISC core, which fetches instructions from program memory on a separate bus from data, allowing most instructions to execute in a single instruction cycle (4 oscillator clocks). The OTP program memory means the firmware is permanently written once at programming time and cannot be electrically erased, making this part a cost-optimized choice for mature, stable production designs rather than iterative prototyping.
Typical applications include low-power and cost-sensitive embedded control such as consumer appliances, automotive body electronics (interior lighting, seat controllers, small sensor interfaces), industrial control (sensor signal conditioning, simple closed-loop control), battery-powered instrumentation, and remote-control transmitters. The 13 I/O pins are sufficient for driving LEDs, reading buttons, communicating via UART or I²C through software bit-banging, and interfacing low-speed analog signals.
When designing with this device, ensure the chosen oscillator or resonator is within the 4 MHz maximum and that decoupling capacitors are placed close to VDD/VSS pins. Because OTP parts cannot be re-programmed, developers typically use a windowed (JW) or flash equivalent for code development and switch to the OTP 'P' (PDIP) variant for production runs.
