Hardware of the PIC16F628


On these pages, I will explain the hardware specification of PICF628. The contents of the explanation is the part which is different from PIC16F873. So, as for the basic specification, refer to PIC16F84A and PIC16F873. As for the detail specification, refer to PIC16F628.
PIC16F628 is PIC which has a lot of features than PIC16F84A. Those functions are the function which is adopted in PIC16F873. The program memory is 2K Words, the RAM memory is 224 bytes and the EEPROM is 128 bytes. It has three kinds of timers, Analog Digital converter, Universal communication port and so on. Also, it has one set of CCP.
Flash memory is used for PIC16F628 like PIC16F84A and PIC16F873. So, the program can be easily rewritten by the PIC programmer. This is very convenient. The instructions of the software are same as PIC16F84A and PIC16F873. The number of the pins is 18 pins like 84A.
