Microchip PIC16F1579-I/SS, 8bit PIC Microcontroller, PIC16LF, 32MHz, 14 kB Flash, 20-Pin SSOP

The PIC16F range of Microcontrollers from Microchip are 8-bit MCUs that incorporate Microchip’s PIC® architecture into a variety of pin and package options, from space efficient 14-pin devices to feature-rich 64-pin devices. Devices with Baseline, Mid-Range or Enhanced Mid-Range architecture are available with numerous different peripheral combinations, giving designers flexibility and choice for their applications.

The PIC16F1516/1517/1518/1519 family of microcontrollers is based upon Microchip’s enhanced mid-range core with a 16 level deep hardware stack and 49 instructions. These MCUs provide up to 5 MIPS, up to 28 Kbytes program memory with up to 1024 bytes of RAM. On board is a configurable oscillator with ±1% accuracy.
