What are the key features of PIC16F690-I/P?

  • 8-bit PIC16 core running at up to 20 MHz, also operable at 8 MHz from a 2V supply
  • 7 KB self-programmable Flash with 256-byte EEPROM for non-volatile data storage
  • 12-channel 10-bit ADC for precise analog measurement in sensor and control applications
  • Enhanced USART, SSP (SPI/I2C), and Comparator modules for versatile peripheral communication
  • 20-pin DIP package enabling easy prototyping and low-cost through-hole production builds

What is PIC16F690-I/P used for?

The PIC16F690-I/P is widely used in low-cost consumer electronics, home automation sensors, and educational prototyping boards where a compact 8-bit MCU with analog capability suffices. Its 12-channel 10-bit ADC makes it ideal for data-logging appliances, temperature-monitoring nodes, and simple motor-speed controllers. The through-hole 20-pin DIP package allows direct breadboard insertion, supporting rapid prototyping and small-batch manufacturing without SMD reflow equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the PIC16F690-I/P operate from a 3V coin-cell or 2xAA battery supply for low-power sensor applications?

Yes, the PIC16F690 is specified to operate at voltages as low as 2V and can run at up to 8 MHz from a 2V supply, making it compatible with 2xAA or CR2032 coin-cell battery designs. At reduced clock speeds the active current drops significantly, extending battery life in duty-cycled sensor nodes.

How many analog input channels does the PIC16F690 provide, and what is the ADC resolution?

The PIC16F690 integrates a 12-channel 10-bit successive-approximation ADC, delivering 1024 discrete codes per conversion. This is sufficient for industrial temperature sensing, potentiometer position reading, and light-intensity measurements without external ADC components.

What communication peripherals are available on the PIC16F690 for interfacing sensors and displays?

The PIC16F690 includes an Enhanced USART for RS-232/RS-485 communication, a Master SSP module supporting both SPI (up to 10 MHz) and I2C, and a Comparator module with voltage reference. These peripherals cover the majority of standard sensor, EEPROM, and display interface requirements on an 8-bit device.

How does the PIC16F690-I/P package format benefit prototyping and low-volume production?

The PIC16F690-I/P ships in a 20-pin PDIP package with 2.54 mm through-hole pin spacing, allowing direct insertion into breadboards and zero-insertion-force sockets. This eliminates SMD reflow requirements for prototypes and small runs of 100 units or fewer, reducing tooling cost and rework time.
