PIC 16F877A

Microcontroller PIC16F877A is one of the PICMicro Family microcontroller which is popular at this moment, start from beginner until all professionals. Because very easy using PIC16F877A and use FLASH memory technology so that can be write-erase until thousand times. The superiority this Risc Microcontroller compared to with other microcontroller 8-bit especially at a speed of and his code compression. PIC16F877A have 40 pin by 33 path of I/O.
PIC16F877A perfectly fits many uses, from automotive industries and controlling home appliances to industrial instruments, remote sensors, electrical door locks and safety devices. It is also ideal for smart cards as well as for battery supplied devices because of its low consumption. EEPROM memory makes it easier to apply microcontrollers to devices where permanent storage of various parameters is needed (codes for transmitters, motor speed, receiver frequencies, etc.). 

Low cost, low consumption, easy handling and flexibility make PIC16F877A applicable even in areas where microcontrollers had not previously been considered (example: timer functions, interface replacement in larger systems, coprocessor applications, etc.).

In System Programmability of this chip (along with using only two pins in data transfer) makes possible the flexibility of a product, after assembling and testing have been completed. This capability can be used to create assembly-line production, to store calibration data available only after final testing, or it can be used to improve programs on finished products.

The pins RB0-RB7, RC0-RC7, and RD0-RD7 are digital I/O pins. The pins CCP1 and CCP2, which share locations with RC1 and RC2, can be used for a PWM signal (see DC Motor tutorial). The pins AN0-AN7 are for analog I/O . TX and RX are for debugging I/O (see Output Messages to Computer tutorial). The remaining pins deal with power/ground, the clock signal, and programmer I/O.

A PIC is made of several “ports.” Each port is designated with a letter, RB0-RB7 are a port. RC0-RC7 and RD0-RD7 are a port as well. RA0-RA5 and RE0-RE2 are also ports, but with fewer pins. Some of these pins have special purposes, but most can be used as basic input/output pins.

For example, you can set pin RB0 to be either an input pin, or an output pin. As an input pin, the digital voltage on the pin can be read in. For example, if RB0 is connected to ground (0v), then you would read a digital 0. If RB0 was connected to power (5v), then you would read a digital 1.


On the other hand, if you wanted to set RBO as an output pin, you could choose to make RB0 either be 5v, or 0v. This can be used, for example, to turn off or on a LED, or to turn off or on a motor.
