DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device-specific information for the operation of the PIC16C72 device. Additional information may be found in the PICmicro™ Mid-Range MCU Reference Manual (DS33023) which may be downloaded from the Microchip website. The Reference Manual should be considered a complementary document to this data sheet, and is highly recommended reading for a better understanding of the device architecture and operation of the peripheral modules.
