PIC16C83A Microcontroller

PIC16C83A Microcontroller 

The PIC16C83A is an 8-bit microcontroller manufactured by Microchip Technology. It belongs to the PIC16C family, where “C” indicates OTP (One-Time Programmable) or EPROM-based program memory, unlike Flash-based PIC16F devices.

It uses Harvard architecture with a RISC instruction set, enabling most instructions to execute in a single instruction cycle. The PIC16C83A was widely used in early embedded systems and is suitable for basic control and automation applications.
