Founder and a Consultant at TeleworX, Virginia, previously. He is currently working on
several PIC Microcontroller amateur radio-related projects.
Tim Wilmshurst (Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, Appendices A, B) is the author of Designing Embedded
Systems with PIC Microcontrollers. He has been designing embedded systems since the
early days of microcontrollers. For many years this was for Cambridge University, where he

led a development team building original systems for research applications—for example in
measurement of bullet speed, wind tunnel control, simulated earthquakes, or seeking a cure to
snoring. Now he is Head of Electronic Systems at the University of Derby, where he aims to
share his love of engineering design with his students.

The PIC Microcontroller Family
The PIC microcontroller family is manufactured by Microchip Technology Inc. Currently
they are one of the most popular microcontrollers, used in many commercial and industrial
applications. Over 120 million devices are sold each year.
The PIC microcontroller architecture is based on a modifi ed Harvard RISC (Reduced Instruction
Set Computer) instruction set with dual-bus architecture, providing fast and fl exible design
with an easy migration path from only 6 pins to 80 pins, and from 384 bytes to 128 kbytes of
program memory.
PIC microcontrollers are available with many different specifi cations depending on:
•
Memory Type
– Flash
– OTP (One-time-programmable)
– ROM (Read-only-memory)
– ROMless
•
Input–Output (I/O) Pin Count

– 4–18 pins
– 20–28 pins
– 32–44 pins
– 45 and above pins
•
Memory Size
– 0.5–1 K
– 2–4 K
– 8–16 K
– 24–32 K
– 48–64 K
– 96–128 K
•
Special Features
– CAN
– USB

– LCD
– Motor Control
– Radio Frequency
Although there are many models of PIC microcontrollers, the nice thing is that they are
upward compatible with each other and a program developed for one model can very easily, in
many cases with no modifi cations, be run on other models of the family. The basic assembler
instruction set of PIC microcontrollers consists of only 33 instructions and most of the family
members (except the newly developed devices) use the same instruction set. This is why a
program developed for one model can run on another model with similar architecture without
any changes.
All PIC microcontrollers offer the following features:

•
RISC instruction set with only a handful of instructions to learn
•
Digital I/O ports
•
On-chip timer with 8-bit prescaler
•
Power-on reset
•
Watchdog timer
•
Power-saving SLEEP mode
•
High source and sink current
•
Direct, indirect, and relative addressing modes
•
External clock interface
•
RAM data memory
•
EPROM or Flash program memory
Some devices offer the following additional features:
•
Analog input channels
•
Analog comparators
•
Additional timer circuits
•

EEPROM data memory
•
External and internal interrupts
•
Internal oscillator

•
Pulse-width modulated (PWM) output
•
USART serial interface
Some even more complex devices in the family offer the following additional features:
•
CAN bus interface
•
I
2
C bus interface
•
SPI bus interface
•
Direct LCD interface
•
USB interface
•
Motor control
Although there are several hundred models of PIC microcontrollers, choosing a microcontroller
for an application is not a diffi cult task and requires taking into account these factors:
•

Number of I/O pins required
•
Required peripherals (e.g., USART, USB)
•
The minimum size of program memory
•
The minimum size of RAM
•
Whether or not EEPROM nonvolatile data memory is required
•
Speed
•
Physical size
•
Cost
The important point to remember is that there could be many models that satisfy all of
these requirements. You should always try to fi nd the model that satisfi es your minimum
requirements and the one that does not offer more than you may need. For example, if you
require a microcontroller with only 8 I/O pins and if there are two identical microcontrollers,
one with 8 and the other one with 16 I/O pins, you should select the one with 8 I/O pins.
Although there are several hundred models of PIC microcontrollers, the family can be broken
down into three main groups, which are:
•
12-bit instruction word (e.g., 12C5XX, 16C5X) (also referred to in this book as the 12
Series and the 16C5X Series)
The PIC Microcontroller Family 5
www.newnespress.com
Ch01-H8615.indd 5Ch01-H8615.indd 5 6/29/07 4:58:06 PM6/29/07 4:58:06 PM
•
14-bit instruction word (e.g., 16F8X, 16F87X) (also referred to in this book as the

16 Series)
•
16-bit instruction word (e.g., 17C7XX, 18C2XX) (also referred to in this book as the
17 Series and the 18 Series).
All three groups share the same RISC architecture and the same instruction set, with a few
additional instructions available for the 14-bit models, and many more instructions available
for the 16-bit models. Instructions occupy only one word in memory, thus increasing the code
effi ciency and reducing the required program memory. Instructions and data are transferred on
separate buses, so the overall system performance is increased.
The features of some microcontrollers in each group are given in the following sections.
1.1 12-bit Instruction Word
Table 1.1 lists some of the devices in this group. These devices have a very simple architecture;
however, as the prices of 14-bit devices have declined, it is rarely necessary to use a 12-bit
device these days, except for the smaller physical size.

PIC12C508: This is a low-cost, 8-pin device with 512 ϫ 12 EPROM program memory, and
25 bytes of RAM data memory. The device can operate at up to 4-MHz clock input and the
instruction set consists of only 33 instructions. The device features six I/O ports, 8-bit timer,
power-on reset, watchdog timer, and internal 4-MHz oscillator capability. One of the major
disadvantages of this microcontroller is that the program memory is EPROM-based and it
cannot be erased or programmed using the standard programming devices. The program
memory has to be erased using an EPROM eraser device (an ultraviolet light source).
The “F” version of this family (e.g., PIC12F508) is based on fl ash program memory, which

can be erased and reprogrammed using the standard PIC programmer devices. Similarly,
the “CE” version of the family (e.g., PIC12CE518) offers an additional 16-byte nonvolatile
EEPROM data memory.
Figure 1.1 shows the pin confi guration of the PIC12F508 microcontroller.

384 ϫ 12 EPROM program memory, 25 bytes of RAM data memory, 12 I/O ports, a timer,
and a watchdog. Some other members in the family, such as PIC16C56, have the same
architecture but more program memory (1024 ϫ 12). PIC16C58A has more program memory
(2048 ϫ 12) and also more data memory (73 bytes of RAM). Figure 1.2 shows the pin
confi guration of the PIC16C56 microcontroller.

1.2 14-bit Instruction Word
This is a big family that includes many models of PIC microcontrollers. Most of the devices
in this family can operate at up to a 20-MHz clock rate. The instruction set consists of 35
instructions. These devices offer advanced features such as internal and external interrupt
sources. Table 1.2 lists some of the microcontrollers in this group.
PIC16C554: This microcontroller has similar architecture to the PIC16C54 but the instructions
are 14 bits wide. The program memory is 512 ϫ 14 and the data memory is 80 bytes of RAM.
There are 13 I/O pins and each pin can source or sink 25 mA of current. Additionally, the
device contains a timer and a watchdog.

PIC16F84: This has been one of the most popular PIC microcontrollers for a very long time.
This is an 18-pin device and it offers 1024 ϫ 14 fl ash program memory, 36 bytes of data
RAM, 64 bytes of nonvolatile EEPROM data memory, 13 I/O pins, a timer, a watchdog, and
internal and external interrupt sources. The timer is 8 bits wide but can be programmed to

generate internal interrupts for timing purposes. PIC16F84 can be operated from a crystal or
a resonator for accurate timing. A resistor-capacitor can also be used as a timing device for
applications where accurate timing is not required. Figure 1.3 shows the pin confi guration of
this microcontroller. The pin descriptions are given in Table 1.3.
PIC16F877: This microcontroller is a 40-pin device and is one of the popular microcontrollers
used in complex applications. The device offers 8192 ϫ 14 fl ash program memory,

PIC16F627: This is an 18-pin microcontroller with 1024 ϫ 14 fl ash program memory. The
device offers 224 bytes of RAM, 128 bytes of nonvolatile EEPROM memory, 16 I/O pins, two
8-bit timers, one 16-bit timer, a watchdog, and comparator circuits. This microcontroller is
similar to PIC16F84, but offers more I/O pins, more program memory, and a lot more RAM.
In addition, PIC16F627 is more suited to applications that require more than one timer.
