DEVICE OVERVIEW

This document contains device specific information for the operation of the PIC16F84A device. Additional information may be found in the PICmicro? Mid Range Reference Manual, (DS33023), which may be downloaded from the Microchip website. The Refer ence Manual should be considered a complementary document to this data sheet, and is highly recom mended reading for a better understanding of the device architecture and operation of the peripheral modules.
