Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum clock frequency of the PIC16C65B-20/L, and what throughput does this provide for an 8-bit control loop?
The PIC16C65B-20/L operates at a maximum clock frequency of 20 MHz, and since PIC16 architecture executes most instructions in 4 clock cycles, this yields an effective instruction rate of 5 MIPS. A simple digital control loop with 20 instructions executes in approximately 4 µs, which is fast enough for relay logic, keypad scanning, and display multiplexing in industrial control panels.
Since the PIC16C65B-20/L has no on-chip ADC, how should designers handle analog sensor inputs in a new design?
Because the PIC16C65B-20/L lacks an internal ADC, designers needing analog-to-digital conversion should add an external SPI or I2C ADC such as the MCP3208 (8-channel, 12-bit) to the design, communicating with the PIC via its serial port at up to 1 MHz. Alternatively, migrating to the PIC16F series, which includes on-chip 10-bit ADC channels, eliminates the external ADC and reduces BOM cost for new designs.
For legacy board repair, what advantage does the PIC16C65B-20/L's 44-pin PLCC package offer over a QFP alternative?
The 44-pin PLCC package of the PIC16C65B-20/L is socket-mountable using standard PLCC-44 ZIF sockets, allowing the microcontroller to be inserted and removed without soldering, which is invaluable for in-field firmware updates and replacement during maintenance of 1990s-era industrial equipment. A 44-pin QFP part, by contrast, requires rework station desoldering, typically taking 15 to 30 minutes per replacement versus under 1 minute for a socketed PLCC swap.
