TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS
It is our intention to provide our valued customers with the best documentation possible to ensure successful use of your Microchip
products. To this end, we will continue to improve our publications to better suit your needs. Our publications will be refined and
enhanced as new volumes and updates are introduced.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this publication, please contact the Marketing Communications Department via
E-mail at
docerrors@mail.microchip.com
or fax the
Reader Response Form
in the back of this data sheet to (480) 792-4150.
We welcome your feedback.
Most Current Data Sheet
To obtain the most up-to-date version of this data sheet, please register at our Worldwide Web site at:
http://www.microchip.com
You can determine the version of a data sheet by examining its literature number found on the bottom outside corner of any page.
The last character of the literature number is the version number, (e.g., DS30000A is version A of document DS30000).
Errata
An errata sheet, describing minor operational differences from the data sheet and recommended workarounds, may exist for current
devices. As device/documentation issues become known to us, we will publish an errata sheet. The errata will specify the revision
of silicon and revision of document to which it applies.
To determine if an errata sheet exists for a particular device, please check with one of the following:
• Microchip’s Worldwide Web site; http://www.microchip.com
• Your local Microchip sales office (see last page)
• The Microchip Corporate Literature Center; U.S. FAX: (480) 792-7277
When contacting a sales office or the literature center, please specify which device, revision of silicon and data sheet (include liter-
ature number) you are using.

DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device specific information
about the following devices:
•
•
•
•
PIC16F873A
PIC16F874A
PIC16F876A
PIC16F877A
The available features are summarized in Table 1-1.
Block diagrams of the PIC16F873A/876A and
PIC16F874A/877A devices are provided in Figure 1-1
and Figure 1-2, respectively. The pinouts for these
device families are listed in Table 1-2 and Table 1-3.
Additional information may be found in the PIC
®
Mid-
Range Reference Manual (DS33023), which may be
obtained from your local Microchip Sales Representative
or downloaded from the Microchip web site. The Refer-
ence Manual should be considered a complementary
document to this data sheet and is highly recommended
reading for a better understanding of the device architec-
ture and operation of the peripheral modules.
PIC16F873A/876A devices are available only in 28-pin
packages, while PIC16F874A/877A devices are avail-
able in 40-pin and 44-pin packages. All devices in the
PIC16F87XA family share common architecture with
the following differences:
• The PIC16F873A and PIC16F874A have one-half
of the total on-chip memory of the PIC16F876A
and PIC16F877A
• The 28-pin devices have three I/O ports, while the
40/44-pin devices have five
• The 28-pin devices have fourteen interrupts, while
the 40/44-pin devices have fifteen
• The 28-pin devices have five A/D input channels,
while the 40/44-pin devices have eight
• The Parallel Slave Port is implemented only on
the 40/44-pin devices
