Introduction to PIC16F1503 Microcontroller

Hello readers welcome to the new post. Here we will discuss the Introduction to the PIC16F1503 Microcontroller. A microcontroller is a portable computer designed on one metal oxide semiconductor VLSI board. It consists of single and more processors with memory units and some input and output devices. Its memory units RAM NOR flash are positioned on the board.

Microncontller contrary to microprocessors is created for embedded applications.  In the current way, microcontrollers are like the SOC but less sophisticated. There are different types of microcontrollers used in the embedded system here we will cover details of the PIC16F1503 Microcontroller. So let’s get started

Introduction to PIC16F1503 Microcontroller

• PIC16F1503 is an 8 bit RISC RISC-based microcontroller and belongs to the very famous series of controllers that is PIC and was created by the Microchip.
• To program the PIC microcontrollers PICkit and MPLAB IDE are used. It consists of different devices such as analog and mixed signal interfaces.

How To Use PIC16F1503

• PIC16F1503  is an 8-bit microcontroller that belongs to the PIC microcontroller series of Microchips and is also famous in the Engineering community.
• It is not famous like other controller series such as ATMega and STM32 series but has importance for some applications.
• For programming the PIc controller PICkit programmers and MPLAB IDE are used.
• PIC16F1503 comes with different connections for devices such as mixed-signal and analog interfacing. The integrated ADC has 8 channels eternal connected with GPIO pins  RA0 and RA1 and RA2 and RC0, RC1, RC2, and RC3.
• That is also connected with an internal voltage reference and temperature sensors with  (DAC).
• PIC16F1503 comes with an integrated 5-bit DAC that can provide 32 output voltage. The reference voltage is configured in software, and output is added in pins RA0 or RA2.
• The output is provided to ADC or the inner comparator. It has 2 inner comparators that come with rail-to-rail inputs and software-programmable hysteresis.
• Comparators is configured on the digital process and work on 60mV max. offset, and from 400ns to 1.2us.
