PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Microchip PIC16C73 is a vintage 8-bit microcontroller from the PIC16CXX family, packaged in a ceramic DIP with quartz UV window. This package variant allowed developers to erase and reprogram the device during prototyping, making it an essential part of embedded system development in the 1990s.
The PIC16C73 features on-chip EPROM, RAM, I/O ports, and peripherals, making it a highly integrated solution for early embedded applications.
Today, ceramic UV-erasable versions of the PIC16C73 are rare and collectible, sought after by enthusiasts of vintage microcontrollers and development hardware.
This unit is not tested, but it is in good physical condition, with the gold contacts and UV window intact.
