What are the key features of PIC16F73-I/SO?
- 8-channel 8-bit ADC with multiplexed inputs enables direct connection of up to 8 analog sensors without external ADC ICs
- Integrated MSSP (SPI and I2C) and USART peripherals support multi-protocol sensor and display communication from a single 8-bit MCU
- 20 MHz maximum clock at 200 ns instruction cycle provides sufficient throughput for real-time sensor polling at 10 kHz update rates
- 28-pin SOIC surface-mount package reduces PCB area versus DIP variants while maintaining standard 1.27 mm pitch for ease of hand soldering
- In-circuit serial programming via 2-wire ICSP enables firmware updates without removing the MCU from the target board
What is PIC16F73-I/SO used for?
The PIC16F73-I/SO targets simple to moderate embedded control applications such as appliance control panels, agricultural sensor loggers, and motor speed controllers that benefit from an 8-channel ADC in a compact SOIC footprint. Its combination of SPI, I2C, and USART makes it suitable for multi-sensor node designs that read temperature, humidity, and pressure from different protocol sensors simultaneously. The 28-pin SOIC package integrates well into cost-sensitive consumer electronics and industrial control PCBs with standard SMT assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many analog input channels does the PIC16F73-I/SO have and what ADC resolution does it provide?
The PIC16F73-I/SO includes an 8-channel, 8-bit successive-approximation ADC multiplexed from its I/O pins. The 8-bit resolution provides 256 counts over the reference voltage range, yielding approximately 19.5 mV per LSB on a 5V reference. At 20 MHz clock, the ADC achieves conversion times of approximately 20 µs per channel, enabling sequential 8-channel scans at roughly 6 kHz aggregate sample rate for multi-sensor monitoring.
How does the PIC16F73-I/SO compare to PIC16F876-20/SP for a new design requiring SOIC packaging?
Both devices run at 20 MHz in 28-pin packages and share the same PIC16 core, but the PIC16F876 offers 14 KB of flash and 368 bytes of RAM versus the PIC16F73's 4 KB flash and 192 bytes of RAM. The PIC16F876 also adds a 10-bit ADC versus 8-bit on the PIC16F73. For simpler firmware under 4 KB with 8-bit ADC accuracy sufficient, the PIC16F73-I/SO in SOIC-28 is the lower-cost option with a 5-week lead time.
Can the PIC16F73-I/SO run from a single 3.3V supply in a battery-powered wireless sensor node?
The PIC16F73-I/SO operates from 2.0V to 5.5V supply voltage, making it compatible with a 3V lithium coin cell or 3.3V regulated LDO output. At 3.3V and 4 MHz, current consumption drops to approximately 1 mA in active mode and under 15 µA in sleep mode, allowing a 1,000 mAh AA-cell pack to sustain the MCU in low-duty-cycle sleep-and-wake sensor sampling for over 3 years.
What serial communication peripherals are built into the PIC16F73-I/SO for connecting to displays and radio modules?
The PIC16F73-I/SO integrates an MSSP module configurable as SPI Master at up to 5 Mbps or I2C at 100 kHz or 400 kHz, plus a USART supporting asynchronous RS-232 at baud rates from 300 bps to 115 kbps at 20 MHz. This allows simultaneous connection to an SPI LCD display, an I2C sensor, and a UART Bluetooth module using all 3 hardware serial peripherals without GPIO bit-banging.
