Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by PIC16C621A-04I/SO?
The PIC16C621A-04I/SO supports a maximum clock frequency of 4 MHz in the -04 speed grade variant. The PIC16C621A family also offers faster -20 variants running up to 20 MHz, giving designers flexibility for throughput-sensitive applications requiring higher instruction execution rates.
How much program memory and RAM does the PIC16C621A-04I/SO provide for embedded firmware?
The PIC16C621A-04I/SO provides 512 words of EPROM program memory and 36 bytes of on-chip data RAM. This combination, alongside 13 I/O pins in the 18-pin SOIC package, supports compact firmware solutions for sensor control, display driving, and simple state-machine applications operating at 5 V.
Which compact board designs benefit from the SOIC-18 surface-mount package of PIC16C621A-04I/SO?
The SOIC-18 package of PIC16C621A-04I/SO measures approximately 11.6 mm x 7.5 mm, making it suitable for space-constrained PCBs in appliances, remote controls, and industrial sensors. The SMT footprint reduces board area compared to DIP alternatives, and the 13 available I/O pins cover typical button-matrix and LED-driver interface requirements.
When would a designer choose PIC16C621A-04I/SO over a PIC16F-series device?
A designer would choose PIC16C621A-04I/SO when one-time-programmable EPROM-based security is preferable over flash reprogrammability, or when sourcing legacy designs from the 1990-era PIC16C product line. For new designs requiring in-system reprogrammability at 3.3 V or 5 V, PIC16F628A or similar flash-based 18-pin replacements offer pin-compatible upgrades with up to 2048 words of program memory.
