PIC16F873A / PIC16F876A Flash 28-pin 4kB Microcontroller with A/D

This powerful yet easy to program CMOS FLASH-based 8-bit microcontroller packs
Microchip's powerful PIC RISC architecture into a 28-pin package and is upwards compatible
with the PIC16C5X, PIC12CXXX and PIC16C7X devices. The PIC16F876 features 256 bytes of
EEPROM data memory, self programming, ICD/ICSP capability, 5 channels of 10-bit Analog-
to-Digital (A/D) converter, 3 timers, integrated watch-dog, 2 capture/compare/PWM functions
and a synchronous serial port. The synchronous serial port can be configured as either a 3-wire
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), 2-wire Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus, or a Universal
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART). All of these features make it ideal for more
advanced level A/D applications in automotive, industrial, appliances and consumer applications.
Since the PIC16F876 is so feature rich, it is often used to develop projects that will not
ultimately use the 16F876 but a different member of the mid-range family. This is made
especially easy through the use of our PIC-C Compilers. This microcontroller is also suitable for
use in our PIC Prototyping Board with the aid of a 28-pin Mid/High-Range PIC Adapter.
