PIC16F689T-I/SS

The PIC16F689T-I/SS is an 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip’s PIC16F family, housed in a 20-pin SSOP package. It features:
- 7 KB Flash memory for program storage.
- 256 bytes of EEPROM & 256 bytes of RAM.
- 12-bit ADC (8 channels) for analog inputs.
- Two comparators, PWM modules, and USART for serial communication.
- Internal oscillator (up to 8 MHz), reducing external components.
- Low-power modes (e.g., SLEEP) for energy efficiency.
Operating at 2.0V–5.5V, it suits battery-powered and embedded applications like sensors, motor control, and automation. Its Enhanced Mid-Range Core (14-bit instructions) balances performance and cost.
The "T" in the part number indicates tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly. Ideal for compact designs requiring moderate processing with analog/digital integration.
For detailed specs, refer to the Microchip datasheet (DS41262D).
