The PIC16F505-I/P is an 8-bit high-performance, fully static Flash-based CMOS microcontroller that employs a RISC architecture with 33 single-word, single-cycle instructions. Most instructions execute in one cycle (200 microseconds), except for program branches, which require two cycles. This microcontroller offers significantly higher performance compared to similar devices, with 12-bit wide instructions that are highly symmetrical, enabling approximately 2:1 code compression over other comparable microcontrollers. Its easy-to-use and straightforward instruction set reduces development time. Additionally, it features integrated Power-On Reset (POR) and Device Reset Timer (DRT), eliminating the need for external reset circuitry, which helps reduce system cost and power consumption.
