The PIC16C57C-20/P is a widely used 8-Bit CMOS Microcontroller, typically used within the embedded products. With an operating voltage from 2-6V and featuring an I/O pins count of 20 and an instruction set of 68, it is designed for many specific application fields, as well as providing a great number of general applications, as any 8-Bit Microcontroller would.

The circuits where the PIC16C57C-20/P is typically used are embedded control applications, error checking, timing systems and digital signal processing, with a few examples listed bellow:

• Industrial control systems
• Alarm systems
• Telecommunications and networking
• Battery maintenance and power management
• Home appliances

The general working principles of the device are simple; the main component incoming and outgoing signals are going through an analogue-to-digital converter, resulting in the information being encoded into binary numbers. These binary numbers (in the form of bits) are then directed to the CPU, where the analysis is conduced, either through a complex A.I., as in a robot, or through simple applications, such as a traffic-light controller.

Furthermore, the software commands to a PIC16C57C-20/P can be interactive making use of serial communication ports, such as the I2C (I Squared C). This digital interface allows certain devices to interact between each other, example of this may be the control of the temperature of an engine by the combination of a temperature sensor and the PIC16C57C-20/P, which then display the temperature variation to aLCD display, enabling the user to input the desired temperature reading.

In addition, there is also the capability of adding digital data-loggers that are connected to the PIC16C57C-20/P, these can include Non-volatile memories like the EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) and the flash memory, which make efficient data logging from multiple sources achievable. This combination allows the analysis and display of more complex information within the same embedded device.

Moreover, the internal memory of a PIC16C57C-20/P microcontroller follows a set of instructions provided in its programming language, as well as a few extras specific for embedded applications, like software timers and analog-to-digital converters. This allow the embedded user to take advantage of these “embedded type” instructions, better described as an instruction set, which are normally used to operate complex systems relatively easily, example of those instructions are digital-output, analogue-input, etc.

To conclude, embedded systems such as the PIC16C57C-20/P are now becoming a must within many industries, due to their efficiency and controllability. They make many devices smaller, simpler and energy efficient, as well as enable simple and complex devices to work together and enable overall process control.
