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.
Additional information may be found in the PIC
®
MCU
Mid-Range Reference Manual (DS33023), which may
be obtained from your local Microchip Sales Represen-
tative or downloaded from the Microchip website. The
Reference Manual should be considered a complemen-
tary document to this data sheet, and is highly recom-
mended reading for a better understanding of the device
architecture and operation of the peripheral modules.
There are four devices (PIC16F873, PIC16F874,
PIC16F876 and PIC16F877) covered by this data
sheet. The PIC16F876/873 devices come in 28-pin
packages and the PIC16F877/874 devices come in
40-pin packages. The Parallel Slave Port is not
implemented on the 28-pin devices.
The following device block diagrams are sorted by pin
number; 28-pin for Figure 1-1 and 40-pin for Figure 1-2.
The 28-pin and 40-pin pinouts are listed in Table 1-1
and Table 1-2, respectively.
