Working Principle

The PIC12CE673-10/P microcontroller is based on an 8-bit device, with a 10-bit A/D converter, multiple timers and PWM interfaces, and an EEPROM data memory. Its internal core architecture is based on a modified Harvard architecture, with separate memories for program memory as well as data memory.

At the most basic level, the operation of the PIC12CE673-10/P is simple: it takes an instruction, decodes the instruction and then performs a task. These tasks range from loading data into memory, performing arithmetic and logic operations on data, controlling conditional branching of execution, and accessing input and output registers.

The internal core of the PIC12CE673-10/P is composed of an instruction register (IR), an instruction decode logic (IDL) unit and an arithmetic logic unit (ALU). The IR is used to decode the various instructions fetched from memory. The IDL unit decodes the instruction stored in the IR, and generates control signals for the operation of the ALU.

The ALU performs the actual operations of the instruction, such as addition, subtraction, comparison, and data shifting/rotation. The output of the ALU is passed to special functions such as the port data registers and the timer registers, where it is used to drive external devices such as LEDs, relays and LCD modules.

In addition to the standard core, the PIC12CE673-10/P also includes a host of integrated peripherals such as the A/D converter, PWM generator, serial communications port, and EEPROM memory. These are used to provide additional functionality such as analog to digital conversion, pulse width modulation, timer/counter, and communication capabilities.
