PIC16F62X DEVICE VARIETIES
A variety of frequency ranges and packaging options are
available. Depending on application and production
requirements the proper device option can be selected
using the information in the PIC16F62X Product
Identification System section at the end of this data
sheet. When placing orders, please use this page of the
data sheet to specify the correct part number.
2.1
Flash Devices
These devices are offered in the lower cost plastic
package, even though the device can be erased and
reprogrammed. This allows the same device to be used
for prototype development and pilot programs as well
as production.
A further advantage of the electrically-erasable Flash
version is that it can be erased and reprogrammed
in-circuit, or by device programmers, such as
Microchip’s PICSTART® Plus or PRO MATE® II
programmers.
2.2
Quick-Turnaround-Production (QTP)
Devices
Microchip offers a QTP Programming Service for
factory production orders. This service is made
available for users who chose not to program a medium
to high quantity of units and whose code patterns have
stabilized. The devices are standard FLASH devices
but with all program locations and configuration options
already programmed by the factory. Certain code and
prototype verification procedures apply before
production shipments are available. Please contact
your Microchip Technology sales office for more details.
2.3
Serialized
Quick-Turnaround-Production
(SQTPSM) Devices
Microchip offers a unique programming service where
a few user-defined locations in each device are
programmed with different serial numbers. The serial
numbers may be random, pseudo-random or
sequential.
Serial programming allows each device to have a
unique number which can serve as an entry-code,
password or ID number.
