What are the key features of PIC12LC508A-04/SN?
- 8-bit PIC12 architecture clocked up to 4 MHz for straightforward control logic
- 0.75 KB OTP program memory suitable for fixed factory-programmed firmware
- 25 bytes on-chip RAM providing working registers for small state machines
- 6 general-purpose I/O pins available on an ultra-compact 8-pin SOIC footprint
- Low-cost single-supply operation from 2 V to 5.5 V for diverse embedded uses
- SOIC-8 package with 1.27 mm pitch for standard PCB assembly and rework
What is PIC12LC508A-04/SN used for?
The PIC12LC508A-04/SN is ideal for simple, cost-driven embedded tasks such as push-button debouncing, LED sequence control, small appliance power management, and basic state machine logic where only a handful of I/O lines are needed. Its 8-pin SOIC package and minimal external component requirements make it a popular choice for space-constrained consumer products like remote controls, door locks, and low-cost sensor indicators. OTP program memory suits high-volume production runs where fixed firmware is programmed once during manufacturing and the device is never field-updated.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much program memory and RAM does the PIC12LC508A-04/SN provide, and what firmware complexity does that support?
The PIC12LC508A-04/SN includes 0.75 KB of OTP program memory and 25 bytes of on-chip RAM; this is sufficient for simple state machines, LED sequencers, button debounce routines, and basic I/O control logic, but not for complex protocols or large lookup tables that require more than a few hundred instructions.
What is the maximum clock frequency of the PIC12LC508A-04/SN, and does it suit real-time control at 4 MHz?
The PIC12LC508A-04/SN operates up to 4 MHz clock frequency, delivering approximately 1 million instructions per second on the PIC12 single-cycle core, which is adequate for low-speed sensor polling, simple PWM generation, and serial bit-banging at baud rates up to a few kilobits per second.
Does the PIC12LC508A-04/SN include an ADC for reading analog sensors?
No, the PIC12LC508A-04/SN does not include an on-chip ADC; all 6 I/O pins operate as digital only, so analog sensor readings require an external ADC or a resistor-capacitor charge-time measurement technique implemented in firmware within the 4 MHz clock constraint.
Is OTP program memory in the PIC12LC508A-04/SN suitable for production programming, and can it be reprogrammed in the field?
The PIC12LC508A-04/SN uses one-time programmable (OTP) memory, meaning firmware is written once during device programming and cannot be erased or updated afterward; this makes it cost-effective for high-volume production runs with locked firmware but unsuitable for products requiring field firmware updates, where a Flash-based variant like PIC12F508 should be chosen instead.
