PIC16F54A-I/P Microcontroller 18 Pin PDIP

The PIC16F54A-I/P is an 8-bit FLASH-based microcontroller from Microchip, ideal for hobbyists, engineers, and embedded systems developers building entry-level automation, control, and consumer electronics projects. It packs Microchip’s powerful PICmicro architecture into a compact 18-pin package, making it well-suited for automotive, industrial, appliance, and consumer applications.

This microcontroller offers fast, efficient operation with 200 nanosecond instruction execution and an easy-to-program instruction set consisting of only 33 single-word instructions, making it accessible for beginners while remaining capable enough for practical embedded designs. It features a baseline core with 33 instructions and 2 stack levels, where all single-cycle instructions execute in one cycle except program branches, which take two cycles.

With its low pin count and straightforward architecture, this PIC16F54A variant is commonly used in simple control systems, switch and relay logic, basic sensor interfacing, and educational microcontroller projects. Supplied in a through-hole PDIP package, it’s easy to socket, prototype with on breadboards, and integrate into custom PCB designs, making it a reliable choice for any maker’s component inventory.
