PIC in Greek

On these pages, I will explain the hardware specification of PICF873. The contents of the explanation is the part which is different from PIC16F84A. So, as for the basic specification, refer to PIC16F84A. As for the detail specification, refer to PIC16F873.
PIC16F873 is PIC which has a lot of feature than PIC16F84A. The program memory is 4K Words, the RAM memory is 192 bytes and the EEPROM is 128 bytes. It has three kinds of timers, Analog Digital converter, Universal communication port....
Flash memory is used for PIC16F873 like PIC16F84A. So, the program can be easily rewritten by the PIC programmer. This is very convenient.
