PIC12F508 Microcontroller Dip 8 Package

PIC12F508 Microcontroller Dip 8 Package 

The PIC12F508 is an 8-bit Flash microcontroller developed by Microchip Technology. It belongs to the PIC12F family, which is designed for low-pin-count, compact, and cost-effective embedded applications.

It uses Harvard architecture with a RISC instruction set, allowing most instructions to execute in a single instruction cycle. The PIC12F508 integrates Flash program memory, RAM, digital I/O, and timers, making it suitable for simple control, timing, and switching applications. The DIP-8 package makes it easy to use in through-hole PCB designs for prototyping and low-cost products.
