	Chandler, AZ (microcontroller.com) - Microchip Technology introduced a new 8-bit microcontroller - the PIC12CR509A - in an 8-pin package that has 1K of ROM and is only 49¢ in quantities of 50Ku. The new 8-pin ROM microcontroller is supported for development with the PIC12C509A with 1024 words of EPROM program memory. The PIC12Cxxx family is Microchip's 8-pin microcontroller family.. Features p/n: PIC12CR509A PIC12 8-bit RISC Core - Register-based architecture 4MHz operation = 1µsec Operating voltage 2.5V to 5.5V Less than 2mA current draw 12-bit Instruction Length 1024x12 words ROM 41 bytes RAM On-Chip clock oscillator 6 I/O pins 8-bit timer with 8-bit prescaler Watchdog Timer Direct drive of LEDs 8-pin DIP & SOIC Packages Pricing and Availability The PIC12CR509A ROM microcontroller is available for sampling & production quantities Now. Pricing is 49¢ for 50Ku. Contact Microchip Technology. for more information and ROM minimum order quantities Code Compatibility The PIC12CR509A is code-compatible with other members of the PIC12Cxxx, and code can be easily ported to the PIC16C5x, PIC16Cxxx, PIC17Cxxx, and PIC18Cxxx microcontroller families. Development Tools Full-speed in-circuit emulation for the PIC12CR509A is supported by Microchip's MPLAB™-ICE2000 Universal In-Circuit Emulator. Interchangeable modules allow the MPLAB to be configured to emulate different processors. Microchip's PIC microcontroller families have excellent development tool support, with an extensive vendor list of In-circuit emulators and compilers.
