This microcontroller has nanoWatt Technology, which features six enhanced power-managed "software controlled" modes, power consumption as low as 0.1 microamps in standby mode and a wide operating voltage range from 2- to 5.5-volts which makes this device ideal for battery managed applications. This device also encompasses a new low-current watchdog timer, a 2-speed start-up from a reset or sleep mode and a new fail-safe clock monitor that is used to detect an external clock failure.This powerful 10 MIPS (100 nanosecond instruction execution) yet easy-to-program (only 77 single word instructions) CMOS FLASH-based 10-bit microcontroller packs Microchip's powerful PIC® architecture into an 18-pin package and is upwards compatible with the PIC16C5X, PIC12CXXX, PIC16CXX and PIC17CXX devices and thus providing a seamless migration path of software code to higher levels of hardware integration.
