PIC16C773-E/SS [Microchip]

This powerful (200 nanosecond instruction execution) yet easy-to-program (only 35 single word instructions) CMOS OTP-based 8-bit microcontroller packs Microchip's powerful PIC® architecture into an 28-pin package and is upwards compatible with the PIC16C5X and PIC12CXXX devices. The PIC16C773 features 6 channels of 12-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter giving designers the ability to discriminate smaller signal changes and eliminate the need for external circuitry for high precision measurement of analog signals. With 2 additional timers, 2 enhanced capture/compare/PWM function, the synchronous serial port can be configured as either 3-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI™) or the 2-wire Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C™) bus and a Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART). All of these features make it ideal for the most sophisticated applications requiring higher levels of A/D in automotive, industrial, appliances and consumer applications.
