Microchip provides solutions for the entire performance range of 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microcontrollers. The 8-bit PIC® microcontroller solutions feature a powerful architecture, flexible memory technologies, comprehensive easy-to-use development tools, comprehensive application notes, complete technical documentation and post design-in support through a worldwide sales and distribution network. Microchip is committed to easy migration across product families, providing seamless program memory expansion, pin compatibility, and a unified development environment for all products.

The PIC12F508 devices from Microchip Technology are low-cost, high-performance, 8-bit, fullystatic, Flash-based CMOS microcontrollers. They employ a RISC architecture with only 33 single-word/single-cycle instructions. All instructions are single cycle (200 μs) except for program branches, which take two cycles. This devices deliver performance an order of magnitude higher than their competitors in the same price category. The 12-bit wide instructions are highly symmetrical, resulting in a typical 2:1 code compression over other 8-bit microcontrollers in its class. The easy-to-use and easy to remember instruction set reduces development time significantly.

PIC12F508-E/MS is part of the PIC12F Series family with  a 8-Bit Flash Microcontroller.It can sustain standard temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C and has 8 pin in MSOP package. This device is lead free.
