I am a stundent of electrical and electronics engineering at the Akdeniz University in Turkey. The field of electricity and electronics is my field of study. So, today I am going to tell you what PIC is one of the microcontrollers. Before we say what the PIC is, let's talk about microcontrollers. In my other writing, I will start teaching PIC programming.
What is a microcontroller?
Microcontroller is a computer consisting of a single chip that has programmability. Microcontrollers include CPU (Central Process Unit), RAM, ROM, input-output terminals, serial-parallel ports, counters and converters.
Why use microcontrollers?
Microcontrollers are very cheap. On the other hand, since microcontrollers have program storage capability, they can be run at any time. It is enough to have a microcontroller and an oscillation source for the operation of the system containing the microcontroller.

We can examine the microcontroller architecture in two classification. These are memory organization and command processing. In terms of memory organization, there are two architecture Von Neuman and Harvard.
image sourceLet's start by telling the microcontrollers in general what the PIC is.
PIC Microcontroller
image sourceThe PIC is a family of controllers manufactured by Microchip
It is a highly preferred microcontroller because it is quite cheap around the world. So, we can reach a lot of sources about PIC.
Key Features
- The operating voltage is between 2 V and 5.5 V.
- It can operate at speeds between 4 MHz and 20 MHz.
- Program memory can be written and erased electrically.
- The PIC16F84 has 68 x 8 bytes of RAM memory from two banks.
- The PIC16F84 has a 64-byte EEPROM data memory.
Where is PIC used?

I think what you can make with PIC depends entirely on your imagination. The applications you can made in proportion to your electronic experience also increase. As an example, the passwordcan be controlled with PIC. You can also make floating scrolling using LEDs. These two examples are actually very simple examples.
Which model should I start with PIC programming?
image source
In my opinion, newcomers to PIC programming can use the 16F628 or 16F628A models. Because these models have built-in oscillator. You do not have to connect an external oscillator on this. To operate the microcontroller it is sufficient to connect +5V to the VDD terminal and connect the VSS terminal to the ground.
There are 18 pins in PIC16F628 model. 16 of them are input-output pins and 2 of them are feeding pins. 16 pins, 8 of which belong to the A port and 8 of which belong to the B port. To find out what what each of the pins is used for, Click Here to go to the datasheet of PIC16F628.
What are the materials needed to start PIC programming?
- Any model PIC microcontroller
- PIC programming circuit
- Any computer
- Compiler

Sorry. I could not notice. Which image does not fit the rules? Say you change me now.
None of your images appear to be properly sourced if that makes sense. The source should be to the page that either hosts the image (so if its a wikipedia image than wikimedia) or should be sourced to the page with the license.
These were the most logical images for post. my purpose was not to use the wrong source. What should i do?
I changed the images. I hope I did it right now.

I'm glad to find fellow electrical and electronics engineer here. I enjoyed your content. Say, would you or would you not enjoy poems about circuital laws and nodal analysis? I have few in my blog. let me know.
You just planted 0.61 tree(s)!
Thanks to @kagantrky
We have planted already 6073.70 trees
out of 1,000,000
Let's save and restore Abongphen Highland Forest
