- it can be recorded and erased electrically
- it retains its contents when powered off.
Back
Special-Function registers
Front
- Controls the operation of the PIC
Back
Two input-output ports
Front
-Port A and Port B
- port and pin can be set individually as an input or an output
- the bits of each port are numbered starting at 0
- in output mode, bit 4 of port A has an open collector (or open drain)
- the rest of outputs are regular CMOS

Main components of PIC 16F84
Front
CPU
- Brain of the computer
- it reads and executes instructions from the program memory
-it can store and retrieve data
Back
PIC16F84
Front
- pic outputs can drive TTL or CMOS logic chips.
-each output pin can source or sink 25mA as long as one pin is doing so at a time
Back
PIC
Front
- is a tiny but complete computer
-it has a CPU
-program memory (PROM)
-working memory (RAM)
-two input output ports
Back
Clock
Front
- 4Mhz, no lower limit
- Low clock freq. save power.
- at 30khz, pic can run on 0.1mA

Power and clock requirements
Front
- 0.1uF capacitor from pib 14V to ground
- MCLR pin is connected to V+ through a 10k resistor.
Back
Power and clock requirements
Front
- requires 5-volt supply (4.0-6.0)
- PIC consumes 1mA - even less, at low clock speeds
Back
Purpose of working RAM
Front
- also known as 'file register'
- 68 bytes located at addresses hex 0C to hex 4F
