What are the key features of PIC16F874-20/PQ?
- 8-bit PIC16 CPU core running up to 20 MHz with 4 KB Flash program memory and 192 bytes RAM
- 8-channel 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) built in for direct sensor interfacing
- Multiple communication interfaces: USART, SPI (SSP), and I2C in a compact MQFP-44 package with 33 I/O pins
What is PIC16F874-20/PQ used for?
The PIC16F874-20/PQ is well suited for industrial sensor acquisition systems, motor-control panels, and HVAC controllers where a 20 MHz 8-bit MCU with a built-in 10-bit ADC and dual serial interfaces keeps BOM cost low. It is also used in home-automation nodes, alarm systems, and legacy embedded designs that need MQFP-44 footprint compatibility with earlier PIC16F87x firmware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum clock speed and Flash capacity of the PIC16F874-20/PQ?
The PIC16F874-20/PQ operates at up to 20 MHz and provides 4 KB (4096 words) of Flash program memory along with 192 bytes of SRAM data memory, making it suitable for mid-complexity embedded firmware running real-time control loops.
How many ADC channels does the PIC16F874-20/PQ provide, and what is the resolution?
It integrates 8 analog input channels with a 10-bit ADC, delivering up to 1024 discrete measurement levels per channel. This allows direct connection to sensors such as thermistors or pressure transducers without an external ADC, reducing system component count.
Which serial communication interfaces are available on the PIC16F874-20/PQ for connecting peripherals?
The device includes a full-duplex USART for RS-232 or RS-485 links, plus a synchronous serial port (SSP) that supports both SPI and I2C protocols. With 33 general-purpose I/O pins across the 44-pin MQFP package, designers can interface LCD modules, EEPROMs, and multiple sensors concurrently.
In what scenarios would a designer choose the PIC16F874-20/PQ over a lower-pin-count PIC16 device?
When a design needs more than 20 I/O pins, 8 ADC channels, or both SPI and I2C on the same board, the PIC16F874-20/PQ in MQFP-44 package is a natural fit. Applications such as 3-phase motor drives requiring 6 PWM comparator outputs and simultaneous current sensing on 3 channels benefit from its expanded peripheral set compared to 28-pin alternatives.
