The PIC16F range of Microcontrollers from Microchip are 8-bit MCUs that incorporate Microchip’s PIC® architecture into a variety of pin and package options, from space efficient 14-pin devices to feature-rich 64-pin devices. Devices with Baseline, Mid-Range or Enhanced Mid-Range architecture are available with numerous different peripheral combinations, giving designers flexibility and choice for their applications.

The PIC16F1554/1559 family of microcontrollers is based upon Microchip’s enhanced mid-range core with a 16 level deep hardware stack and 49 instructions, offering up to 8 MIPS.
