The PIC16F886-I/SS is an 8-bit PIC mid-range MCU from Microchip in SSOP-28, running at 20MHz (200ns instruction cycle) with 14KB Flash, 256B EEPROM, and 368B SRAM. The mid-range core has a 14-bit instruction word, 8-bit data path, and 2K instructions address space. The device includes: (1) 10-bit ADC with 11 channels (up to 100ksps); (2) Two comparators with internal voltage reference; (3) Two CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) modules for motor control and pulse measurement; (4) Enhanced USART with address detection (9-bit mode for multi-node RS-485); (5) MSSP (Master Synchronous Serial Port) supporting both SPI and I2C master/slave; (6) Two 8-bit timers and one 16-bit timer; (7) 256B data EEPROM for calibration and configuration storage. The 14KB Flash supports 100,000 write/erase cycles. The ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) via PGD/PGC pins allows firmware updates without removing the MCU from the board. The -I/SS suffix specifies industrial temperature (-40C to +85C), SSOP-28. The PIC16F886 is a popular choice for cost-sensitive industrial control, appliance controllers, and automotive body electronics.
