Frequently Asked Questions

How much Flash and EEPROM memory does the PIC16F526-I/ST provide?

The PIC16F526-I/ST includes 1.5 KB of Flash program memory and 64 bytes of EEPROM data storage, along with 67 bytes of RAM. This compact memory configuration suits small firmware projects such as sensor polling loops, simple state machines, and calibration data retention in battery-operated devices.

At what minimum supply voltage can the PIC16F526-I/ST operate, and at which speed?

The PIC16F526-I/ST operates at a minimum supply voltage of 2 V while running at 4 MHz. This low-voltage capability makes it suitable for single-cell battery applications and energy-harvesting systems where the rail may drop below the 3.3 V or 5 V levels typical of other microcontrollers.

Which package does the PIC16F526-I/ST use and how many pins does it have?

The PIC16F526-I/ST comes in a TSSOP-14 package with 14 pins. The thin small-outline package occupies minimal PCB footprint, making it ideal for compact sensor boards and handheld devices where space is at a premium while still needing general-purpose I/O and analog inputs.

Does the PIC16F526-I/ST include an analog-to-digital converter, and how does it support sensor interfacing?

Yes, the PIC16F526-I/ST includes a built-in ADC that supports direct analog sensor connections. Combined with its 20 MHz maximum clock, 2 V minimum supply, and 67 bytes RAM, it can handle analog signal conditioning tasks such as temperature sensing, light intensity measurement, and simple waveform detection without external conversion circuitry.
