From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

PIC is a family of microcontrollers made by Microchip Technology, derived from the PIC1640 originally developed by General Instrument's Microelectronics Division. The name PIC initially referred to Peripheral Interface Controller, and was subsequently expanded for a short time to include Programmable Intelligent Computer, though the name PIC is no longer used as an acronym for any term. The first parts of the family were available in 1976; by 2013 the company had shipped more than twelve billion individual parts, used in a wide variety of embedded systems.
