Microchip | PIC16HV540-20/P

The PIC16HV540 is a lowcost, high-performance, 8-bit, fully-static, EPROMbased CMOS microcontroller. It is pin and software compatible with the PIC16C5X family of devices. It employs a RISC architecture with only 33 single word/ single cycle instructions. All instructions are single cycle except for program branches, which take two cycles.

The PIC16HV540 delivers performance an order of magnitude higher than its competitors in the same price category. The 12-bit wide instructions are highly orthogonal resulting in 2:1 code compression over other 8-bit microcontrollers in its class. The easyto- use and easy-to-remember instruction set reduces development time significantly.
