Applications
The PIC12CE673-04/P is suited for simple embedded control tasks such as sensor reading, LED dimming, relay control, and small state machines where a minimal pin count and low cost are priorities. Its integrated ADC allows direct connection to temperature sensors, potentiometers, and light-dependent resistors without external analog-to-digital conversion hardware. The 8-pin PDIP package makes it ideal for retrofit control boards, educational kits, and low-volume industrial accessories where through-hole assembly is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum clock frequency of the PIC12CE673-04/P and how does it affect processing throughput?
The PIC12CE673-04/P runs at up to 4 MHz, executing most instructions in a single 250 ns cycle due to the PIC12's single-cycle RISC architecture. This throughput is sufficient for ADC sampling, timer-driven PWM output, and serial bit-banging in simple control and monitoring applications running from a 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply.
Does the PIC12CE673-04/P include on-chip EEPROM, and what is a practical use case?
Yes, the PIC12CE673-04/P includes on-chip EEPROM data memory that retains values through power cycling. A practical use is storing user-calibrated sensor offset values or device configuration bytes so the microcontroller restores its last known state on restart without requiring an external serial EEPROM, reducing BOM cost and PCB area.
Which I/O pin count does the PIC12CE673-04/P provide, and is it enough for a simple LED controller design?
The PIC12CE673-04/P provides 6 user-accessible I/O pins on an 8-pin PDIP package. For a simple 4-channel LED controller using PWM dimming, 4 output pins drive the LEDs while 2 pins handle a mode button and a status indicator, making the device a cost-effective single-chip solution without any additional ICs.
Is the PIC12CE673-04/P still in production, and what is the typical lead time for ordering?
The PIC12CE673-04/P has a factory lead time of approximately 7 weeks and remains available through authorized Microchip distributors. While it was introduced in 1998, it continues to be stocked for legacy design maintenance and replacement needs in industrial and consumer products still using the PIC12CE family in 8-pin PDIP form factor.
What supply voltage range does the PIC12CE673-04/P support, and is it compatible with 3.3 V systems?
The PIC12CE673-04/P operates from 2.5 V to 5.5 V, making it compatible with both 3.3 V regulated supplies and standard 5 V microcontroller boards. This range allows operation from two alkaline AA cells in battery-powered applications without a voltage regulator, simplifying the BOM in cost-sensitive designs.
