Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum clock frequency and program memory size of the PIC16F84-04/P?
The PIC16F84-04/P runs at a maximum clock frequency of 4 MHz and provides 1.75 KB of Flash program memory alongside 64 bytes of data EEPROM. These specifications make it adequate for simple state machines, sensor polling loops, and protocol bit-banging tasks in 8-bit embedded designs operating at 5 V supply.
Does the PIC16F84-04/P include an analog-to-digital converter, and what are the implications for sensor designs?
No, the PIC16F84-04/P does not include an on-chip ADC. Sensor designs that require analog signal measurement must use an external ADC IC connected via SPI or I2C, or switch to a pin-compatible PIC16F84A or a modern replacement like the PIC16F628A which adds an 8-channel 10-bit ADC and runs at up to 20 MHz, offering far more capability for sensor-based applications.
What is the factory lead time and YTEOL for PIC16F84-04/P, and should new designs use it?
The PIC16F84-04/P has a 6-week factory lead time but a YTEOL (Years To End Of Life) of only 3 years, and was introduced in 1990, making it a very mature part approaching end-of-life. New designs should migrate to the PIC16F628A or PIC16F18313 which offer more program memory (up to 14 KB), integrated ADC, and more I/O pins, while the PIC16F84-04/P is best suited only for legacy maintenance orders.
Which package does the PIC16F84-04/P use, and how does it affect prototyping?
The PIC16F84-04/P uses an 18-pin PDIP (PDIP-18) through-hole package with 2.54 mm lead pitch, which plugs directly into standard breadboards and DIP sockets without any adapters. This makes it the preferred choice for classroom labs and prototyping sessions where soldering SMT ICs is impractical, unlike the SOIC or QFP variants of more modern PIC devices.
How does the PIC16F84-04/P compare to the PIC16F628A as a drop-in upgrade for legacy boards?
The PIC16F628A is Microchip's recommended upgrade path from the PIC16F84-04/P, offering 2 KB of Flash, an 8-channel 10-bit ADC, a hardware USART, and up to 20 MHz operation, all in the same 18-pin PDIP footprint with 5 V compatibility. For boards with enough spare clock cycles, a simple firmware recompile targeting PIC16F628A typically takes under 8 hours and immediately gains access to hardware serial communication and analog sensing not available on the PIC16F84-04/P.
