What are the key features of PIC16C73B-04I/SO?
- 8-bit PIC16 CPU core running at up to 4 MHz with Harvard RISC architecture and 35 single-word instructions
- 8-channel 8-bit analog-to-digital converter enabling direct sensor interface without external ADC
- 28-pin SOIC package with 22 I/O pins providing dense I/O integration for compact PCB designs
- On-chip USART, SPI, and I2C peripherals allowing multi-protocol serial communication from a single device
What is PIC16C73B-04I/SO used for?
The PIC16C73B-04I/SO targets embedded control applications such as industrial sensor readout, consumer appliance control, and automotive accessory modules where a simple 8-bit core with integrated ADC reduces BOM cost. Its 28-pin SOIC form factor allows wave-soldering on through-hole-compatible boards and SMD assembly lines. The 4 MHz clock speed and 22 I/O pins make it well-suited for low-speed data acquisition systems operating from 2.5 V to 5.5 V supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ADC capability does the PIC16C73B-04I/SO integrate for sensor acquisition?
The PIC16C73B-04I/SO includes an 8-channel 8-bit successive-approximation ADC, allowing it to read up to 8 analog signals with 256-level resolution. At a 4 MHz clock the conversion time is approximately 12 µs per channel, which is adequate for low-speed temperature, pressure, and position sensors commonly used in industrial control systems.
How does the PIC16C73B-04I/SO compare to more modern PIC16F devices for a new design?
The PIC16C73B-04I/SO uses OTP (one-time programmable) program memory, while modern PIC16F parts offer flash reprogramming for easier firmware iteration. For new designs requiring in-circuit firmware updates, PIC16F887 or PIC16F1827 are more suitable, but the -04I/SO remains relevant for cost-sensitive production runs where the 4 MHz clock speed and 128-byte RAM footprint already meet all requirements.
Which communication protocols does the PIC16C73B-04I/SO support natively?
The device integrates a hardware USART for asynchronous RS-232 or RS-485 communication at baud rates up to 250 kbps at 4 MHz, plus an SSP module supporting SPI and I2C interfaces up to 1 MHz. These on-chip peripherals eliminate the need for external UART or bus-interface ICs in data-logging and sensor-hub designs.
What is the operating temperature range and supply voltage for PIC16C73B-04I/SO in industrial environments?
The I-suffix grade of PIC16C73B-04I/SO is rated for an industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The supply voltage range spans 2.5 V to 5.5 V, allowing it to run from a single lithium-ion cell or a regulated 5 V rail, which simplifies power-supply design in field instruments and remote monitoring nodes.
