GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PIC16C84 is a low-cost, high-performance, CMOS, fully-static, 8-bit microcontroller.
All PIC16/17 microcontrollers employ an advanced RISC architecture. PIC16CXX devices have enhanced core features, eight-level deep stack, and multiple internal and external interrupt sources. The separate instruction and data buses of the Harvard architecture allow a 14-bit wide instruction word with a separate 8-bit wide data bus. The two stage instruction pipeline allows all instructions to execute in a single cycle, except for program branches (which require two cycles). A total of 35 instructions (reduced instruction set) are available. Additionally, a large register set is used to achieve a very high performance level.
