In 1987, General Instrument spun off its microelectronics division to create Microchip Technology, which became an independent company in 1989. Microchip technology produces new PIC designs to this day.  Alongside the evolution of PIC cores and peripherals, on-chip memory technology development yielded the introduction of light tight encapsulated EPROM for on-time programmable and later EEPROM for in-circuit reprogramming capabilities. Like most MCUs, PIC MCUs have a Harvard architecture. Today, PIC designs range from 8-bit to 32-bit, ...
