The document discusses the PIC18 family of microcontrollers from Microchip Technology. It provides a brief history of PIC microcontrollers, noting they were introduced in 1989 with small memory. It describes key features of the PIC18 family, including RISC architecture, on-chip ROM, RAM, EEPROM, timers, ADC, USART, I/O ports, and various package sizes. It also covers the different types of ROM used in PIC microcontrollers like UV-EPROM, Flash, OTP, and masked ROM, and their relative advantages.

Microprocessor Systems & Interfacing

History of PIC
• Microchip Technology introduced an 8-bit microcontroller
(1989)
• PIC (Peripheral interface controller)
• Small RAM along with few hundred bytes of ROM
• 8 pin package
• One timer
• Few pin for I/O ports
• Now, Microchip is leading microcontroller supplier
• PIC has many families available
• PIC10xx, PIC12xx, PIC14xx, PIC16xx PIC18xx, PIC24xx and PIC32xx

PIC18 Family
• 8-bit processors
• They are not compatible with other PIC families
• Variety of IC Packages (pin varies from 18 to 80 pin)
• Other families are easier to code for those
programmers
• Who have mastered PIC18

PIC microcontroller ROM


• ROM is the program memory
• Used to store program
• PIC18F452 has 2MB ROM
• All family members does not have that much ROM
• ROM can be varied from 4K to 128 K ROM
• Different Types of ROM are available
• UVEPROM
• FLASH
• OTP
• MASKED

UV-EPROM
• PROM Burner is required
• To written down the code into the ROM
• UV –EPROM eraser is also required
• To erase the code from ROM
• Takes 20 to 30 minutes to be erased
• That's why it has been replaced by FLASH type

6

Flash ROM
• Can be erased with in seconds
• That’s why its termed as flash
• Indicated by letter F
• Requires ROM Burner
• To write the code into the ROM
• Does not require extra eraser
• Since its Electrical erasable
• Same ROM burner can be used to erase the code from ROM

7

OTP ROM
• OTP Stands for one time programmable
• Programmed once
• Can't be erased
• C is designated letter to indicate OTP
• When this will be used??
• Once code is matured and does not require any amendments
• Then OTP type controller is used
• Product Development
• Low priced compared to Flash

Masked ROM
• These are special on demand ROM type
• Microchip technology develop controller with these ROM
• Code is written down during the fabrication process of
microcontroller
• That’s why it is called Masked ROM
• It is cheapest version

Data RAM v/s EEPROM


• ROM
• Is used to store the program or code
• RAM
• Is used to store the Data storage
• PIC18 family has maximum 4096 Bytes or 4KB
• Varies between 256B to 4KB
• Generally divided into
• GPR
• SFR
