Overview

The PIC16F886-I/SP is a versatile 8-bit RISC microcontroller featuring 14KB of Flash memory and an integrated 256-byte EEPROM. It operates at up to 20MHz and is housed in a 28-pin SPDIP package, making it ideal for through-hole prototyping and legacy industrial applications.

Why Choose This Part

The through-hole PDIP package allows for easy use on breadboards and hand-soldered PCBs. It includes a precision internal oscillator with software-selectable frequencies, reducing external component count and simplifying the design of space-constrained circuits.

Applications

Industrial Control Loops
Utilizing the 24 I/O pins and internal PWM modules for controlling relays, solenoids, and simple motor drivers.
Sensor Interfacing
Leveraging the integrated I2C and SPI interfaces to collect data from digital environmental sensors.
Data Logging
Writing configuration settings or small logs to the internal 256-byte EEPROM without requiring external memory.
Battery-Powered Handhelds
Using the low-power sleep mode and wide operating voltage range (2.0V to 5.5V) to maximize runtime from portable power sources.
