Product Overview
The PIC16C63A-20 is a high-speed 28-pin 8-bit OTP microcontroller with integrated USART serial communication, operating at up to 20 MHz clock frequency for 5 MIPS performance. Featuring 4096 words of One-Time Programmable program memory, 192 bytes of RAM, dual analog comparators, and three timer/counters, this high-speed variant enables faster serial baud rates, quicker response times, and more computationally intensive operations. The commercial temperature grade is well-suited for consumer electronics, data communication, and high-speed control applications.
