Parallel to Serial VID Translation on AMD Processors Using the PIC16F506 Parallel to Serial VID Translation on AMD Processors Using the PIC16F506 APPLICATION DESCRIPTION Author: Kyle Gaede Microchip Technology Inc. The PIC16F506 is the main controller used to translate Thomas Madaelil the PVID codes and transmit the VID using the Serial Advanced Micro Devices VID Interface (SVI) to the PWM controller. Some key features of the PIC16F506 include low-cost baseline architecture, up to 8 MHz internal oscillator with 500 ns INTRODUCTION instruction cycles, wide 2V-5V operating voltage range, internal flash memory, and 14-pin package with 12 I/O.
