[!TLDR]

The PIC is a low-cost RISC microcontroller offering a small instruction set, integrated flash/RAM/EEPROM and rich on-chip peripherals.

The main features of a PIC microcontroller are:

  • RISC architecture with a small instruction set (about 35 instructions), most executing in a single clock cycle.
  • On-chip memory: reprogrammable flash program memory, data RAM and non-volatile EEPROM.
  • Integrated peripherals: timers/counters, an analogue-to-digital converter, serial communication (USART) and analogue comparators.
  • Low power consumption with a wide operating-voltage range and power-saving/sleep modes.
  • High-current I/O pins that can directly drive loads such as LEDs, with software-programmable behaviour. …
