Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum clock frequency of the PIC16C64A-04/L?
The PIC16C64A-04/L supports a maximum clock frequency of 4 MHz. The '-04' suffix in the part number denotes this 4 MHz speed grade. At 4 MHz with a 4-cycle instruction cycle, the device executes approximately 1 million instructions per second (1 MIPS), suitable for typical embedded control and I/O management tasks.
What package does the PIC16C64A-04/L use?
The PIC16C64A-04/L is housed in a 44-pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package (Manufacturer Package Code: PLCC-44). This square surface-mount package with J-leads on all four sides was widely used in embedded microcontroller designs from the 1990s and can be mounted in PLCC sockets for socketed or soldered PCB installations.
Does the PIC16C64A-04/L have analog-to-digital conversion capability?
No, the PIC16C64A-04/L does not include an ADC (Has ADC: NO). For applications requiring analog input measurement, designers should consider PIC16C7x series devices which include on-chip A/D converters, or add an external ADC. The PIC16C64A focuses on digital I/O control and serial communication functions.
What are typical applications for the PIC16C64A-04/L?
Common applications include embedded digital I/O control in consumer appliances, industrial equipment controllers, motor drive control panels, keyboard and display interface circuits, and legacy system replacements. Its 28 I/O pins and serial communication peripherals make it suitable for data acquisition front-ends, machine control interfaces, and remote I/O expansion in 8-bit embedded systems.
Is the PIC16C64A-04/L still in production and is it RoHS compliant?
The PIC16C64A-04/L has a YTEOL (Years To End of Life) of 3, indicating it is approaching or in its last years of production availability. It is RoHS compliant (Pb-free Code: Yes). Designers starting new projects should evaluate current PIC16F series devices as modern replacements with flash memory and enhanced peripheral sets.
