The PIC16C66-20/SP microcontroller is the most advanced of its kind and is favoured by embedded engineers due to its versatile features and low cost. To understand the application and working principles of this microcontroller, one must first understand the features and capabilities of the PIC16C66-20/SP.

The PIC16C66-20/SP is a low-power, multiple-function, 8-bit microcontroller that is designed for use in embedded applications. It has a 16-bit program counter, 16-bit address space, 128-byte register file, and 2Kb of program memory. The microcontroller also has four 8-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with a maximum resolution of 12-bits, three 16-bit timers, up to five configurable serial ports, a watchdog timer, on-chip debugging with flash programming, and three pulse-width modulators (PWMs). Additionally, the PIC16C66-20/SP also has an external memory interface for up to 64K of data memory and up to 32K of program memory.

From an application point of view, the PIC16C66-20/SP is primarily used in embedded applications such as consumer electronics, home automation, factory automation, automotive, medical, security and industrial control. The microcontroller also supports applications such as voice recognition and data acquisition. The PIC16C66-20/SP is also used in robotics and in the construction of digital signal processor (DSP) applications.

To understand the basic workings of the PIC16C66-20/SP, the microcontroller requires a programming language. This can be either Assembly language or the popular C language. Assembly language is used to program the microcontroller at a low level and requires a good understanding of the microcontroller architecture. C language allows the programmer to use a more easy to use high-level language and makes it easier to write efficient programs for the PIC16C66-20/SP.

The PIC16C66-20/SP microcontroller is designed to run on the Harvard Architecture. This means that instructions are stored in separate program memory and data memory. The instructions are executed directly by the microcontroller while data is stored in RAM or ROM. The Harvard Architecture also allows the microcontroller to access memory faster and makes it easier to add extra instructions and data when needed.

When programmed, the PIC16C66-20/SP microcontroller has five modes of operation. These are: single-step mode, program mode, debug mode, interrupt mode and background mode. Each mode has its own special purpose and they can be used in combination to complete different tasks.

In single-step mode, the microcontroller executes one instruction at a time and is used for debugging the program on a low level. The program mode is used for normal program execution and is the most commonly used mode for applications. Debug mode is used for debugging the program on a higher level. In interrupt mode, the microcontroller is stopped and an interrupt handler is called to handle a particular event. Background mode is used for executing non-critical tasks and is used mainly to maintain a steady background process.

The main advantage of the PIC16C66-20/SP microcontroller is its low cost and ease of use. It is also easy to debug, program and prototype projects with the PIC16C66-20/SP. This makes it attractive for a number of embedded applications. In conclusion, the PIC16C66-20/SP microcontroller is a powerful and versatile device that is suitable for many embedded applications.
