[HELP!] Is it no Timer INTERRUPT on MicroChip PIC16C54?

I checked the spec., and can't find the INTCON register. Is it there are no
interrupt on MicroChip PIC16C54?

Hi Eric

It appears the PIC16C54 has no interrupts at all.
The PIC16F84 has the same pin-out and has the timer interrupt.
It also uses the same instruction set and is reprogrammable.
It probably costs more unfortunately.


StrillHello again Eric

Looking through my literature I also noticed the PIC16C55X(A) series that
is an enhanced version of the PIC16C5X.
This may be less expensive than the previously suggested PIC16F84.

Correct! Ancient microchip technology.

Nope. With No interrupts, power hog, parallel programmable only, no
periperals at all, limited memory, and limited jump/call space (only into 1st
part of the page) frankly even if you have one (and I think that I still do
have a 16C55 somewhere around here) it's not worth using.

Check out Randy Jones Glitchbusters PIC page to see the latest offerings. The
16F88 is looking like the ultimate PIC in the 18 pin format. But even a lowly
16F628 is so much better that it is almost too good to believe.

I have a page on the obsolesence of the 16F84 here:

And for almost any project the 16F84 put the 16C54 out of business.

That's something to think about.

I really hate following up my own posts!

Hi BAJ

Thank you for the update on the new PIC chips.
It seems a good idea not to get carried away stocking up on favrite PIC chips,
as the technology marches on at an exponential rate.
