We welcome your feedback.
Most Current Data Sheet
To obtain the most up-to-date version of this data sheet, please register at our Worldwide Web site at:
http://www.microchip.com
You can determine the version of a data sheet by examining its literature number found on the bottom outside corner of any page.
The last character of the literature number is the version number, (e.g., DS30000A is version A of document DS30000).
Errata
An errata sheet, describing minor operational differences from the data sheet and recommended workarounds, may exist for current
devices. As device/documentation issues become known to us, we will publish an errata sheet. The errata will specify the revision
of silicon and revision of document to which it applies.
To determine if an errata sheet exists for a particular device, please check with one of the following:
• Microchip’s Worldwide Web site; http://www.microchip.com
• Your local Microchip sales office (see last page)
• The Microchip Corporate Literature Center; U.S. FAX: (480) 792-7277
When contacting a sales office or the literature center, please specify which device, revision of silicon and data sheet (include liter-
ature number) you are using.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PIC16C63A/65B/73B/74B devices are low cost,
high performance, CMOS, fully-static, 8-bit micro-
controllers in the PIC16CXX mid-range family.
All PIC
®
microcontrollers employ an advanced RISC
architecture. The PIC16CXX microcontroller family has
enhanced core features, eight-level deep stack and
multiple internal and external interrupt sources. The
separate instruction and data buses of the Harvard
architecture allow a 14-bit wide instruction word with
the separate 8-bit wide data. The two stage instruction
pipeline allows all instructions to execute in a single
cycle, except for program branches, which require two
cycles. A total of 35 instructions (reduced instruction
set) are available. Additionally, a large register set
gives some of the architectural innovations used to
achieve a very high performance.
The
PIC16C63A/73B
devices have 22 I/O pins. The
PIC16C65B/74B
devices have 33 I/O pins. Each
device has 192 bytes of RAM. In addition, several
peripheral features are available, including: three timer/
counters, two Capture/Compare/PWM modules, and
two serial ports. The Synchronous Serial Port (SSP)
can be configured as either a 3-wire Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) or the two-wire Inter-Integrated Circuit
(I
2
C) bus. The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (USART) is also known as the
Serial Communications Interface or SCI. Also, a 5-
channel high speed 8-bit A/D is provided on the
PIC16C73B,
while the
PIC16C74B
offers 8 channels.
The 8-bit resolution is ideally suited for applications
requiring low cost analog interface, e.g., thermostat
control, pressure sensing, etc.
The PIC16C63A/65B/73B/74B devices have special
features to reduce external components, thus reducing
cost, enhancing system reliability and reducing power
consumption. There are four oscillator options, of which
the single pin RC oscillator provides a low cost solution,
the LP oscillator minimizes power consumption, XT is
a standard crystal, and the HS is for high speed crys-
tals. The SLEEP (power-down) feature provides a
power-saving mode. The user can wake-up the chip
from SLEEP through several external and internal
interrupts and RESETS.
A highly reliable Watchdog Timer (WDT), with its own
on-chip RC oscillator, provides protection against soft-
ware lockup, and also provides one way of waking the
device from SLEEP.
A UV erasable CERDIP packaged version is ideal for
code development, while the cost effective One-Time-
Programmable (OTP) version is suitable for production
in any volume.
The PIC16C63A/65B/73B/74B devices fit nicely in
many applications ranging from security and remote
sensors to appliance control and automotive. The
EPROM technology makes customization of applica-
tion programs (transmitter codes, motor speeds,
receiver frequencies, etc.) extremely fast and con-
venient. The small footprint packages make this micro-
controller series perfect for all applications with space
limitations. Low cost, low power, high performance,
ease of use and I/O flexibility make the PIC16C63A/
65B/73B/74B devices very versatile, even in areas
where no microcontroller use has been considered
before (e.g., timer functions, serial communication,
capture and compare, PWM functions and coprocessor
applications).
1.1
Family and Upward Compatibility
Users familiar with the PIC16C5X microcontroller fam-
ily will realize that this is an enhanced version of the
PIC16C5X architecture. Please refer to Appendix A for
a detailed list of enhancements. Code written for the
PIC16C5X can be easily ported to the PIC16CXX fam-
ily of devices (Appendix B).
