Currently, microcontroller market is developing rapidly, thanks to the widespread introduction of mikrokontrollernoy technology systems for monitoring and management, as well as in many other areas is increasingly displacing the market system based on a rigid logic. Microcontrollers allow for the minimum time frame to develop and produce electronic devices virtually any complexity.

At the moment the market microcontrollers products represented more than 30 companies, including American firm Microchip Technology Inc., Producing a wide range of microcontrollers series PIC, which became very popular, both among manufacturers of electronics, and among radio amateurs. One reason for such popularity is the competent marketing policies pursued by Microchip. In addition, PIC microcontrollers combine a number of advanced technologies: it is an advanced RISC-architecture, minimal power consumption, high performance, PPZU etc.

Specifications microcontroller PIC16F84 made him very popular among radio amateurs and developers pilot and a single device. The presence of reprogrammable memory, as well as ease of use and development, make Microcontroller PIC16F84 ideal for the manufacture of experimental samples and study the principles of microcontroller.

PIC family of microcontrollers are ideal for small and medium business development in the production of electronic equipment. With minimal cost, time and money, you can easily develop the production of various electronic devices, ranging from electronic watches and ending with office PBX system, with similar devices from 30 to 90 per cent of the functionality implemented by software, which can vary as required and modified, based on the needs of the consumer.

In addition, in some cases is an important opportunity to protect program code from unauthorized reading and modification. The availability of this feature effectively protects the copyrights of producers and developers. In early models of microcontrollers will be able to unlock the software when using special equipment, but the removal of such protection has been and remains very expensive and time-consuming procedure. In today's Microcontroller has improved the protection of software code that is almost completely ruled out the possibility of unauthorized read or modify the code.
