PIC16F616T-I/ML

PIC16F616T-I/ML is an 8‑bit Microchip PIC microcontroller in the PIC16F616 family. It comes in a 14‑pin package with industrial temperature rating (-40°C to 85°C) in molded leadframe packaging. It includes on‑chip flash program memory, RAM, and EEPROM, plus core peripherals suitable for small embedded tasks. Peripherals typically cover timers, a watchdog timer, brown‑out reset, and configurable oscillator options, along with on‑chip analog features (ADC and/or comparators) and serial interfaces (USART, I²C, SPI). It operates from about 2.0 to 5.5 V and uses the standard PIC 8‑bit core with an instruction cycle roughly Fosc/4. Development is via MPLAB X IDE with the XC8 compiler, supported by plenty of example code. Typical applications include small sensors, basic controllers, LED drivers, keypad interfaces, and other compact, low‑cost MCU tasks where a small footprint and straightforward tooling matter.
