PIC Microcontrollers
Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) was originally designed by General Instruments In the late 1970s, GI introduced PIC 1650 and 1655 RISC with 30 instructions. PIC was sold to Microchip Features: low-cost, self-contained, 8bit, Harvard structure, pipelined, RISC, single accumulator, with fixed reset and interrupt vectors.

18CX/18FX 32 16-bit 75 2 C implies CMOS technology; Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor F insert indicates incorporation of Flash memory technology Example: 16C84 was the first of its kind. It was later reissued as the 16F84, incorporating Flash memory technology. It was then reissued as 16F84A.

Summary
An embedded system is a product that has one or more computers embedded within it, which exercise primarily a control function. The embedded computer is usually a microcontroller: a microprocessor adapted for embedded control applications. Microcontrollers are designed according to accepted electronic and computer principles, and are fundamentally made up of microprocessor core, memory and peripherals. Microchip offers a wide range of microcontrollers, divided into a number of different families. Each family has identical central architecture and instruction set. However, common features also appear across all their microcontrollers. The Microchip 12F508 is a good microcontroller to introduce a range of features of microcontrollers in general and of PIC Dr. Gheith 23 microcontrollers in particular.Abandah
