Frequently Asked Questions
What program memory size does the PIC16C56-HSI/P provide, and is it reprogrammable?
The PIC16C56-HSI/P contains 512 words of OTP (one-time programmable) program memory, meaning it cannot be erased or reprogrammed after initial programming. This makes it well-suited for high-volume production where firmware is finalized, but not for prototyping requiring multiple programming cycles.
Which oscillator modes are supported by the PIC16C56-HSI/P and at what maximum frequency?
The PIC16C56-HSI/P supports HS (High-Speed) oscillator mode, enabling clock frequencies up to 20 MHz. It also supports XT and RC oscillator modes for lower-cost or lower-power configurations. The HS mode designation in the part number indicates factory configuration for high-speed crystal operation above 4 MHz.
How many I/O pins does the PIC16C56-HSI/P offer, and what is its supply voltage range?
The PIC16C56-HSI/P provides 12 bidirectional I/O pins distributed across two ports. It operates from a supply voltage of 4.0 V to 6.0 V, making it compatible with standard 5 V logic systems. The DIP-18 package offers straightforward through-hole mounting for industrial and consumer control boards.
