GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PIC16C9XX is a family of low-cost, high-performance, CMOS, fully-static, 8-bit microcontrollers with an integrated LCD Driver module, in the PIC16CXXX mid-range family.

Microcontroller Core Features:
• High performance RISC CPU
• Only 35 single word instructions to learn
• 4K x 14 on-chip EPROM program memory
• 176 x 8 general purpose registers (SRAM)
• All single cycle instructions (500 ns) except for program branches which are two-cycle
• Operating speed: DC - 8 MHz clock input DC - 500 ns instruction cycle
• Interrupt capability
• Eight level deep hardware stack
• Direct, indirect and relative addressing modes

Peripheral Features:
• 25 I/O pins with individual direction control
• 25-27 input only pins
• Timer0: 8-bit timer/counter with 8-bit prescaler
• Timer1: 16-bit timer/counter, can be incremented during sleep via external crystal/clock
• Timer2: 8-bit timer/counter with 8-bit period register, prescaler and postscaler
• One pin that can be configured a capture input, PWM output, or compare output
    - Capture is 16-bit, max. resolution 31.25 ns
    - Compare is 16-bit, max. resolution 500 ns
    - PWM max resolution is 10-bits. Maximum PWM frequency @ 8-bit resolution
    = 32 kHz, @ 10-bit resolution = 8 kHz
• Programmable LCD timing module
    - Multiple LCD timing sources available
    - Can drive LCD panel while in Sleep mode
    - Static, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 multiplex
    - Static drive and 1/3 bias capability
    - 16 bytes of dedicated LCD RAM
    - Up to 32 segments, up to 4 commons
• Synchronous Serial Port (SSP) with SPI and I2C
• 8-bit multi-channel Analog to Digital converter (PIC16C924 only)

Special Microcontroller Features:
