Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum clock frequency of the PIC16C642-04I/SO and how does it affect processing throughput?
The PIC16C642-04I/SO operates at a maximum clock frequency of 4 MHz, which translates to 1 million instructions per second (1 MIPS) since the PIC16 architecture executes most instructions in 4 clock cycles. This throughput is ample for simple I/O control, serial communication at up to 115200 baud, and timer-based PWM generation in 8-bit embedded applications.
How does the EPROM memory type of the PIC16C642-04I/SO differ from flash-based PIC variants for prototyping?
Unlike one-time programmable (OTP) devices, the EPROM in the PIC16C642-04I/SO can be erased with UV light and reprogrammed multiple times, allowing firmware iteration during prototyping. However, EPROM erase requires a UV eraser and takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes per cycle, which is slower than the in-circuit flash reprogramming offered by newer PIC16F devices.
Which industrial temperature-range applications are supported by the PIC16C642-04I/SO?
The -04I suffix designates the industrial temperature grade, meaning the device operates reliably from -40°C to +85°C. This makes it suitable for outdoor sensor nodes, factory-floor control modules, and HVAC controllers where ambient temperatures fluctuate significantly across seasons or installation environments.
What are the pin count and package dimensions of the SOIC-28 version of the PIC16C642-04I/SO?
The device comes in a 28-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pin pitch. The SOIC-28 body measures approximately 17.9 mm long and 7.5 mm wide, making it compatible with standard SMT reflow assembly and fitting within a compact 20 mm × 10 mm PCB footprint.
