PIC16F873A/876A devices are available only in 28-pin Reference Manual should be considered a complemen-
packages, while PIC16F874A/877A devices are avail- tary document to this data sheet and is highly recom-
able in 40-pin and 44-pin packages. All devices in the mended reading for a better understanding of the device
PIC16F87XA family share common architecture with architecture and operation of the peripheral modules.
the following differences:
• The PIC16F873A and PIC16F874A have one-half
of the total on-chip memory of the PIC16F876A
and PIC16F877A
• The 28-pin devices have three I/O ports, while the
40/44-pin devices have five
• The 28-pin devices have fourteen interrupts, while
the 40/44-pin devices have fifteen
• The 28-pin devices have five A/D input channels,
while the 40/44-pin devices have eight
• The Parallel Slave Port is implemented only on
the 40/44-pin devices
