HB010012024 – PIC16F PROCESSOR BLOCK

This hardware block features the PIC16F872T-I/SS, an 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip Technology’s PIC16F series, integrated into a Quickboards breakout board for compact and versatile embedded designs. Operating at up to 20 MHz, it provides 3.5 KB of Flash memory, 128 bytes of RAM, and 128 bytes of EEPROM, making it ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained applications that still require reliable performance.

Housed in a 28-SSOP package and mounted on a Quickboards hardware block, this breakout includes dedicated UART and ICSP programming/debug ports, simplifying programming, debugging, and integration. The PIC16F family is well-known for its balance of simplicity, low cost, and wide adoption, making this breakout a solid platform for prototyping, educational projects, and small-scale embedded systems.
