PIC16F886 is a MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY microcontroller from the ‘PIC16F’ series. It’s an 8-Bit CMOS Microcontroller with nano-Watt Technology. Because of its functionality and low cost, this microcontroller is popular among amateurs and engineers.Because of its rapid flash memory rewrite cycle, the PIC16F886 is an excellent microcontroller for testing and creating Applications. There are also a variety of instructional and support resources available online. The controller features 16KBytes of flash memory, which is sufficient for a wide range of Applications. With 24 programmable input/output pins designed to handle 20mA current (direct LED driving capabilities), the system can readily communicate with a wide range of peripherals. With the Watchdog timer configured to automatically reset in the event of a mistake, the controller may be used to construct permanent installation Applications.
