Key Features

  • 8-bit PIC16 CMOS core running at up to 40 MHz delivers fast single-cycle instruction execution for simple control logic
  • OTP EPROM/ROM program memory enables low-cost mass-production without field reprogramming requirements
  • 18-pin PDIP package is breadboard-compatible and hand-solderable, accelerating prototyping for low-pin-count designs
  • REACH-compliant and Pb-free construction meets global environmental regulations for consumer and industrial markets

Applications

The PIC16C54-LP/P suits simple control and sequencing tasks in appliances, toys, remote controls, and industrial timers where a compact 18-pin PDIP microcontroller with up to 40 MHz clock speed and low cost are the primary criteria. Its OTP EPROM architecture is ideal for high-volume production runs where field reprogramming is not required. The device also serves as an educational and prototyping platform for embedded engineers learning the PIC16 architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What clock speed and memory architecture does the PIC16C54-LP/P use, and how does OTP affect production strategy?

The PIC16C54-LP/P runs at up to 40 MHz and features one-time-programmable EPROM program memory, meaning firmware is written once at the factory and cannot be erased or updated in the field. This OTP architecture reduces unit cost versus flash-based devices, making it economical for stable firmware in high-volume consumer products such as appliances and toys once code is fully validated.

Does the PIC16C54-LP/P include an ADC, and what analog interface approach must designers take instead?

The PIC16C54-LP/P does not include an on-chip ADC, so designs requiring analog measurement must use an external SPI or I2C ADC chip connected to the digital I/O pins. For purely digital applications such as keypad scanning, LED driving, or relay control, the absence of an ADC is not a limitation, and the device's 18 I/O pins at 40 MHz provide ample capability for simple state-machine logic.

How does the 18-pin PDIP package of PIC16C54-LP/P simplify prototyping compared with surface-mount alternatives?

The 18-pin PDIP package has a 2.54 mm through-hole pitch directly compatible with standard breadboards and DIP sockets, allowing engineers to insert, remove, and reprogram devices without soldering during development iterations. This simplifies prototyping laboratory workflows compared with 18-pin or 20-pin SOIC variants that require an SMD adapter or reflow station, reducing prototype build time by eliminating soldering steps.

What lead-time and end-of-life horizon should procurement teams factor in for PIC16C54-LP/P supply planning?

The PIC16C54-LP/P carries a YTEOL of 3 years, signalling that the part is nearing end-of-production, so procurement should confirm current stock availability and last-time-buy dates with distributors. Teams maintaining products with this OTP 8-bit device should evaluate migration to the flash-based PIC16F54 or PIC16F630 as a functionally compatible 18-pin replacement before the estimated end-of-life date to avoid obsolescence disruptions.
