Q.Mention any two core features of PIC microcontroller

PIC microcontrollers are popular partly because of their simple instruction set and high execution speed. Any two core features from Microchip's list can be cited. …

[!TLDR]

Two of the PIC's defining core features are its very small RISC instruction set (35 instructions) and its high instruction speed (about 0.2 µs per instruction).

PIC microcontrollers owe their popularity to several core features. Two important ones are:

1. Instruction-set simplicity: the PIC uses a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) design with only 35 instructions, so it is easy to learn and program.
2. Speed: running at its maximum clock rate, the PIC executes most instructions in about 0.2 µs — roughly five instructions every microsecond — which makes it fast for real-time control. …
