PIC 16F877A

The PIC that generations of engineering students have learned on, and still the default chip in a great many university curricula. Its 40 pins give 33 I/O lines, and it includes ADC channels, timers, PWM, UART and I2C — enough peripherals to build almost any coursework project without external support chips. The DIP package plugs into a breadboard directly and can be socketed for easy replacement, which matters when students are learning. The standard teaching PIC in university courses; 33 I/O pins with a full peripheral set; DIP package works directly on a breadboard; Extensive textbook and tutorial coverage
