PIC microcontrollers

PIC (usually pronounced /pɪk/) is a family of microcontrollers made by Microchip Technology, derived from the PIC1640 originally developed by General Instrument's Microelectronics Division. The name PIC initially referred to Peripheral Interface Controller, and was subsequently expanded for a short time to include Programmable Intelligent Computer…
