 6x/7x family of Micro controllers:
PIC 16C62A and 16C74A
are found with a suffix A.

A indicates the Brown-Out Reset.

Reset

Brown-Out Reset which causes a reset of the

PIC when the Power Supply voltage drops below 4.0 V

R.Hariharan AP / EEE -SECE

Salient features
 Speed : PIC executes most of its instructions in
0.2 s or five instructions per microsecond.
 Instruction set Simplicity : just 35
instructions.
 Integration of operational features:
Power-on-reset and brown-out protection
ensure that the chip operates only when the
supply voltage is within specifications.
 Watch dog timer: resets the PIC if the chip
malfunctions or deviates from its normal
operation at any time.
 Powerful output pin control:
single instruction can select and drive a single
output pin high or low in its 0.2  s instruction
execution time. The PIN can drive a load of up to
25  A.
R.Hariharan AP / EEE -SECE
 I/O port expansion:
With the help of built in Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) the number of I/O ports can be
expanded. EPROM/DIP/ROM options are provided.

 Interrupt control:
Up to 12 independent interrupt sources can
control when the CPU will deal with each sources.

 Programmable timer options:
Three timers can characterize inputs,
control outputs and provide internal
timing for the program execution.

STACK:
part of RAM.
Stack consists of eight 13-bit registers.
registers
 Before the microcontroller executes a subroutine or
an interrupt occurs,
occurs the address of the instruction
to be executed next is pushed onto the stack.
stack

after the stack has been pushed eight times, the ninth push
overwrites the value that was stored with the first push.
 The PIC16CXX can directly or indirectly address its
register files or data memory.
 The PIC16CXX has an orthogonal instruction set
that makes it possible to carry out any operation on
any register using any addressing mode.
