In theory, the combination of CP1600 CPU and PIC1640 device controllers provided a very high-performance device control system, one that was similar in power and performance to the channel I/O controllers seen on mainframe computers.OverviewPIC (usually pronounced as /pɪk/) is a family of made by, derived from the PIC1640 originally developed by 's Microelectronics Division. The name PIC initially refe. The original PIC was intended to be used with General Instrument's new (CPU). In order to fit 16-bit and into a then-standard 40-pin (DIP) chip, the tw. PIC micro chips are designed with a, and are offered in various device families. The baseline and mid-range families use 8-bit wide data memory, and the high-end families use 16-bit data me.
