A highly reliable Watchdog Timer (WDT), with its own on-chip RC oscillator, provides protection against software lockup when Recover Chip PIC16C73B Firmware, and also provides one way of waking the device from SLEEP. A UV erasable CERDIP packaged version is ideal for code development, while the cost effective One-Time-Programmable (OTP) version is suitable for production in any volume.
The PIC16C73B devices fit nicely in many applications ranging from security and remote sensors to appliance control and automotive. The EPROM technology makes customization of application programs (transmitter codes, motor speeds, receiver frequencies, etc.) extremely fast and convenient.
The small footprint packages make this microcontroller series perfect for all applications with space limitations. Low cost, low power, high performance, ease of use and I/O flexibility make the PIC16C65B devices very versatile, even in areas where no microcontroller use has been considered before (e.g., timer functions, serial communication, capture and compare, PWM functions and coprocessor applications).
Users familiar with the PIC16C5X microcontroller family will realize that this is an enhanced version of the PIC16C5X architecture. Please refer to Appendix A for a detailed list of enhancements. Code written for the PIC16C5X can be easily ported to the PIC16CXX family of devices which can be used for Recover MCU 12F508 Code.
