The PIC16F74 can be powered using a wide range of voltage sources, e.g., 2-voltdirect current (VDC) to 5.5VDC, and each of its I/O pin can sink or source up to 25mA ofcurrent. It is ideal not only for laboratory data acquisition (the application considered in thispaper), but also for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.
