This powerful (200 nanosecond instruction execution) yet easy-to-program (only 35 single word instructions) CMOS OTP-based 8-bit microcontroller packs Microchip's powerful PIC architecture into an 20-pin package and is upwards compatible with the PIC16C5X and PIC12CXXX devices. The PIC16C782 features the highest level of analog peripheral features in any PICmicro microcontroller to date. With 6 various fully integrated, mixed signal analog peripherals in a 20-pin package. Thus saving component cost and board space as well as critical design time by using firmware to control the changing interconnections and analog parameters. This makes it the most sophisticated Analog microcontroller device applications and ideal for automotive, industrial, appliances and consumer applications.• High performance RISC CPU • Only 35 single word instructions to learn • All single cycle instructions except for program branches which are two cycle • Direct, indirect and relative addressing modes - Operating speed: DC - 20 MHz clock input DC - 200 ns instruction cycle • 8-level deep hardware stack • Interrupt capability (up to 8 internal/external interrupt sources) • 16 I/O pins: - Individual direction control (13 pins) - Input only (3 pins), low leakage (2 pins) - Digital/Analog inputs (8 pins) • Programmable PORTB interrupt-on-change (8 pins) • Programmable PORTB weak pull-ups (8 pins) • Power-on Reset (POR) • Power-up Timer (PWRT) and Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) • Watchdog Timer (WDT) with a software enabled option and its own on-chip RC oscillator for reliable operation • Programmable Brown-out Reset (BOR) • Programmable Low Voltage Detection (LVD) • Internal/external MCLR • Programmable code protection • Power saving SLEEP mode • Select
