series introduction

# PIC16F1829 - I/SO Product Series Introduction

## 1. Overview
The PIC16F1829 - I/SO is part of Microchip Technology's PIC16F family of 8 - bit microcontrollers. These microcontrollers are designed to offer a cost - effective, high - performance solution for a wide range of embedded applications. The "I/SO" in the part number indicates the specific package type, which is a Small Outline (SO) package, making it suitable for applications where space is a constraint.

## 2. Key Features

### 2.1 CPU and Memory
- **CPU Core**: It is based on an enhanced mid - range RISC CPU architecture. This architecture provides a high - performance instruction set with a large number of single - cycle instructions, enabling fast execution of code. The CPU can operate at a maximum frequency of up to 32 MHz, which allows for quick data processing and efficient control of external devices.
- **Program Memory**: The PIC16F1829 - I/SO comes with 14 KB of Flash program memory. Flash memory is non - volatile, meaning that the program code stored in it is retained even when the power is turned off. This allows for easy reprogramming during development and in - field updates if required.
- **Data Memory**: It has 256 bytes of RAM (Random Access Memory) for storing temporary data during program execution. This RAM can be used to hold variables, buffers, and intermediate results, facilitating efficient data handling within the microcontroller.

### 2.2 Peripherals

#### 2.2.1 Timers
- **Timer0**: A 8 - bit timer/counter with an 8 - bit prescaler. It can be used for general - purpose timing applications, such as generating time delays, measuring time intervals, or as a simple counter for external events.
- **Timer1**: A 16 - bit timer/counter with a prescaler and an external clock input option. Timer1 can be used in applications that require more precise timing, such as real - time clock (RTC) implementations or in communication protocols that rely on accurate timekeeping.
- **Timer2**: An 8 - bit timer/counter with a prescaler and a postscaler. It is often used in conjunction with the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) module to generate PWM signals with different duty cycles and frequencies.

#### 2.2.2 Communication Interfaces
- **USART (Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter)**: This interface allows the microcontroller to communicate with other devices using serial communication protocols. It supports both asynchronous (UART) and synchronous (USART) modes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, such as communication with sensors, displays, or other microcontrollers.
- **SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)**: A high - speed synchronous serial communication interface that enables the microcontroller to communicate with other SPI - compatible devices, such as external memory chips, sensors, or displays. SPI offers fast data transfer rates and is commonly used in applications where high - speed data exchange is required.
- **I²C (Inter - Integrated Circuit)**: A multi - master, multi - slave serial communication protocol that allows the microcontroller to communicate with other I²C - compatible devices on the same bus. I²C is widely used for connecting low - speed devices, such as sensors, EEPROMs, and real - time clocks.

#### 2.2.3 Analog Peripherals
- **ADC (Analog - to - Digital Converter)**: The PIC16F1829 - I/SO is equipped with a 10 - bit ADC with up to 12 input channels. This allows the micro
