DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device specific information
about the following devices:
PIC16F873A
PIC16F874A
PIC16F876A
PIC16F877A
PIC16F873A/876A devices are available only in 28-pin
packages, while PIC16F874A/877A devices are avail-
able in 40-pin and 44-pin packages. All devices in the
PIC16F87XA family share common architecture, with
the following differences:
the PIC16F873A and PIC16F876A have one-half
of the total on-chip memory of the PIC16F874A
and PIC16F877A
the 28-pin devices have three I/O ports, while the
40/44-pin devices have five
the 28-pin devices have 14 interrupts, while the
40/44-pin devices have 15
the 28-pin devices have five A/D input channels,
while the 40/44-pin devices have eight
the Parallel Slave Port is implemented only on the
40/44-pin devices
The available features are summarized in Table 1-1.
Block diagrams of the PIC16F873A/876A and
PIC16F874A/877A devices are provided in Figure 1-1
and Figure 1-2, respectively. The pinouts for these
device families are listed in Table 1-2 and Table 1-3.
Additional information may be found in the PICmicro
Mid-Range Reference Manual (DS33023), which may
be obtained from your local Microchip Sales Represen-
tative or downloaded from the Microchip website. The
Reference Manual should be considered a complemen-
tary document to this data sheet, and is highly recom-
mended reading for a better understanding of the device
architecture and operation of the peripheral modules.
