Microcontrollers are embedded systems used to control a physical device. PIC16F1512-E/SO is one of the many models in the PIC series from Microchip Technology. This model, like most PIC microcontroller chips, combines a microcontroller, Flash memory, and a range of integrated peripherals into one convenient package.

Designing a project or system with a microcontroller chip requires a basic understanding of the chip’s features, functioning and operation. This article covers the main applications of the PIC16F1512-E/SO and its basic working principle.

Applications

The versatility of this model allows it to be implemented in medium to high complexity applications such as industrial, consumer, automotive and medical etc. Some common applications include, but are not limited to:

• Robotics: Robots can be programmed to perform certain tasks autonomously. The timing and coordination requires the use of a PIC microcontroller to process different sensor signals and commands to move the robot.
• Data Logging: PIC microcontrollers are used to store and transmit data collected from sensors and other peripheral components. This data is used to monitor various aspects of the system or to generate real-time reports.
• Embedded Systems: Embedded systems are devices or systems that incorporate a PIC microcontroller to control the behavior of the device or system. Examples of such systems include cell phones, watches or washing machines.
• Automotive Systems: Automotive systems featuring the PIC16F1512-E/SO include car immobilizers, keyless entry systems, dashboard displays and fuel injection systems.
• Medical Equipment: The PIC microcontroller is used in a variety of medical equipment such as electrocardiograms, defibrillators, and patient monitors.

Working Principle

A PIC16F1512-E/SO microcontroller is composed of a CPU, memory, and perpherials. The CPU is the engine of the microcontroller that performs mathematical and logical operations. The memory consists of ROM, EPROM, and RAM used to store the instructions to be executed and data to be used or stored by the microcontroller. The peripherals are devices or circuits such as A/D converters and timers used for input/output operations.

When a microcontroller is designed into a system, it requires a program to be written that tells the CPU what instructions to execute. This program is written in assembly language, which the microcontroller executes. The program is then stored into the microcontroller’s memory.

The microcontroller executes the program it is given. Each instruction tells the CPU what operation to perform. The CPU looks at the instruction, decodes it and performs the instruction. This process is repeated until the program is complete. At that point the microcontroller is considered to be in a “sleeping” state until a reset or external interrupt is received.

Conclusion

The PIC16F1512-E/SO is a versatile microcontroller used in a variety of applications. It features a CPU, memory and peripheral components. Its instruction set is programmed in assembly language and when a program is written and stored, it executes each instruction set for the desired operations. Its applications range from robotics to automotive systems.
