PIC12C5XX

1.0

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The PIC12C5XX from Microchip Technology is a family

of low-cost, high performance, 8-bit, fully static,

EPROM/ROM-based

CMOS

microcontrollers.

employs a RISC architecture with only 33 single word/

single cycle instructions. All instructions are single

cycle (1

µs) except for program branches which take

two cycles. The PIC12C5XX delivers performance an

order of magnitude higher than its competitors in the

same price category. The 12-bit wide instructions are

highly symmetrical resulting in 2:1 code compression

over other 8-bit microcontrollers in its class. The easy

to use and easy to remember instruction set reduces

development time signiﬁcantly.

The PIC12C5XX products are equipped with special

features that reduce system cost and power require-

ments. The Power-On Reset (POR) and Device Reset

Timer (DRT) eliminate the need for external reset cir-

cuitry. There are four oscillator conﬁgurations to

choose from, including INTRC internal oscillator mode

and the power-saving LP (Low Power) oscillator.

Power saving SLEEP mode, Watchdog Timer and code

protection features improve system cost, power and

reliability.

The PIC12C5XX are available in the cost-effective

One-Time-Programmable (OTP) versions which are

suitable for production in any volume. The customer

can take full advantage of Microchip’s price leadership

in OTP microcontrollers while beneﬁting from the

OTP’s ﬂexibility.

The PIC12C5XX products are supported by a full-fea-

tured macro assembler, a software simulator, an in-cir-

cuit emulator, a ‘C’ compiler, fuzzy logic support tools,

a low-cost development programmer, and a full fea-

tured programmer. All the tools are supported on IBM®

PC and compatible machines.

1.1

Applications

The PIC12C5XX series ﬁts perfectly in applications

ranging from personal care appliances and security

systems to low-power remote transmitters/receivers.

The EPROM technology makes customizing applica-

tion programs (transmitter codes, appliance settings,

receiver frequencies, etc.) extremely fast and conve-

nient. The small footprint packages, for through hole or

surface mounting, make this microcontroller series per-

fect for applications with space limitations. Low-cost,

low-power, high performance, ease of use and I/O ﬂex-

ibility make the PIC12C5XX series very versatile even

in areas where no microcontroller use has been

considered before (e.g., timer functions, replacement

of “glue” logic and PLD’s in larger systems, coproces-

sor applications).
