MICROPROCESSOR AND MICROCONTROLLER

Detailed explanation-1: -Description. PIC16F877A is powerful and easy-to-program CMOS FLASH-based 8-bit microcontroller packs Microchip’s powerful PIC architecture into an 44-pin package.

Detailed explanation-2: -The PIC16F877A-I/P is a 8-bit CMOS Flash-based Microcontroller.

Detailed explanation-3: -PIC16F877a is a 40-pin PIC Microcontroller, designed using RISC architecture, manufactured by Microchip and is used in Embedded Projects. It has five Ports on it, starting from Port A to Port E. It has three Timers in it, two of which are 8-bit Timers while 1 is of 16 Bit.

Detailed explanation-4: -The PIC16F877A is a 40-pin (DIP) microcontroller which Microchip describes as powerful based on having a 200 nanosecond instruction speed. It’s old and Microchip itself is not recommending it for new designs but its features and price make it still a popular microcontroller.

Detailed explanation-5: -PIC18 is the most popular architecture for new 8-bit designs where customers want to program in C.
