This is an 8-pin OTP (One Time Programmable) PICmicro controller chip. It used to be the cheapest, but this position has been taken over by the 12F and 10F chips. The 12C chips are not recommended for the beginner because development with this chip requires the use of a (more expensive) UV-eraseable (windowed) 12C509JW chip (1k code), and an UV-eraser.
To use this chip at its maximum speed of 4 MHz an external crystal or resonator can be used, like X-4M, R-4M. This chip can also run on its internal 4 MHz oscillator.
This chip is in a SOIC case, *not* in DIP.
The PCB-01 can be used to use this chip in a DIP socket, breadboard, etc.
manufacturer: Microchip
When this standard chip is temporarily not available I might provide you an LF chip (extended opertaing voltage range) or an E version (extended temperature range) instead. Such chips are fully (upwards) compatible replacements for the plain F chips.
