What are the key features of PIC16F628A-I/SO?
- 8-bit PIC16 core with 3.5KB Flash and 224 bytes RAM running at up to 20 MHz for compact, cost-effective embedded control applications
- On-chip hardware USART and dual analog comparators eliminate external serial and signal-comparison ICs, reducing BOM cost in simple sensor nodes
- 18-pin SOIC-18 package with 16 I/O pins and internal 4 MHz oscillator option enables truly minimal-component designs without an external crystal
What is PIC16F628A-I/SO used for?
The PIC16F628A-I/SO is a workhorse for low-cost embedded applications such as relay drivers, temperature controllers, simple display drivers, and sequential logic replacement circuits where a small, inexpensive 8-bit MCU with serial communication is needed. Its on-chip comparators and USART make it suitable for thermostat controls, pulse-width modulation fan controllers, and RS-232 serial terminal interfaces without additional glue logic. The 18-pin SOIC footprint and optional internal oscillator minimize BOM cost and PCB area in high-volume consumer appliance and industrial control designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the PIC16F628A-I/SO require an external crystal, and how does the internal oscillator option simplify PCB design?
The PIC16F628A-I/SO has a built-in 4 MHz internal RC oscillator that requires no external crystal or resonator, eliminating 2 components (crystal plus 2 load capacitors) from the BOM and freeing 2 I/O pins (OSC1/OSC2) for general use. At 4 MHz the device executes 1 MIPS, sufficient for most control-loop tasks running at update rates of 10 ms or longer. For timing-sensitive USART communication requiring better than 3% baud rate accuracy, an external 20 MHz crystal is recommended.
What serial communication peripherals does the PIC16F628A-I/SO include and what baud rates are achievable at 20 MHz?
The PIC16F628A-I/SO includes a hardware USART (EUSART) supporting asynchronous RS-232 and synchronous SPI-master communication. At 20 MHz system clock, standard baud rates from 300 baud to 115200 baud are achievable with less than 0.16% error using the BRG prescaler settings. The device also supports I2C as a software-implemented protocol since it lacks a dedicated I2C peripheral, but its 16 I/O pins accommodate bit-bang I2C alongside the hardware UART.
How many I/O pins and analog comparators does the PIC16F628A-I/SO have for a relay driver and voltage-detection application?
The PIC16F628A-I/SO provides 16 I/O pins across ports A and B, with 2 on-chip analog voltage comparators. For a relay driver application, up to 8 open-drain or push-pull outputs can directly drive low-side relay coils via a transistor array, while the 2 comparators monitor 2 independent analog voltage thresholds (for example, 2.5V and 3.3V trip points) without an external ADC. The 3.5KB Flash accommodates a full relay sequencing state machine plus USART command parsing.
