Product Summary
The PIC12C508A-04I/P is a low-cost, high performance, 8-bit, fully static,
EEPROM/EPROM/ROM-based CMOS microcontroller. It employs a RISC architecture with only 33 single word/single
cycle instructions. All instructions are single cycle (1 ms) except for program branches which take two cycles.
The PIC12C508A-04I/P delivers performance an order of magnitude higher than its competitors in the same price category.
The 12-bit wide instructions are highly symmetrical resulting in 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.
