Detailed Description:

The PIC16F628A is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on Microchip’s PIC® architecture. It features a Harvard architecture with separate instruction and data buses, making it efficient and reliable. With 2KB Flash, 224 bytes SRAM, 128 bytes EEPROM, and a rich set of peripherals, the PIC16F628A is ideal for low-cost embedded control applications.

It offers features such as Timer0/1, Capture/Compare PWM (CCP) module, USART, Analog Comparator, and INT (interrupt-on-change) functionality. Its DIP-18 package is breadboard-friendly and easy to prototype. The device supports in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) and is compatible with PICkit 3/4, MPLAB X, and other Microchip tools.
