PIC16F1708T-I/SS

The PIC16F1708T-I/SS is Microchip’s low‑cost, 8‑bit PIC microcontroller in the PIC16F170x family. It uses the classic PIC16 core, with on‑chip Flash program memory, RAM, and EEPROM for data storage, plus a range of peripherals for compact embedded apps.
Key points
- On‑chip resources: Flash (several KB, exact size varies by variant), RAM (tens to low hundreds of bytes), EEPROM.
- Peripherals: timers, PWM, analog-to-digital converter (and other analog features), and serial interfaces (SPI/I2C via MSSP, plus EUSART/UART in many devices).
- I/O and voltage: supports standard PIC I/O, typically operable from 2.0–5.5 V with low‑power sleep modes.
- Packaging/suffix: the suffix I/SS indicates industrial temperature range (October/-40°C to +85°C) and a plastic small-outline package.
- Applications: small sensors, controls, simple motor or LED drivers, and other cost‑sensitive embedded tasks.
Note: exact memory size, I/O count, and peripheral availability depend on the specific device variant. See the Microchip datasheet and product selector for precise specs.
