PIC18F87J60-I/PT

The PIC18F87J60-I/PT is Microchip’s 8‑bit PIC with an integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC/PHY. It targets embedded Ethernet applications (industrial controllers, networked sensors, embedded web servers). It uses the PIC18 core with on‑chip Flash, RAM, and EEPROM, plus a rich set of peripherals: multiple I/O pins, timers, USART, SPI, I2C, ADCs, comparators, and a watchdog. It supports standard networking stacks (TCP/IP) via software libraries. The I/PT suffix indicates Industrial temperature range in a Plastic package. For exact memory sizes, pin count, and package options, consult the datasheet. Development is done with MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 compiler, using available Ethernet stacks and examples. In short: a robust Ethernet-enabled 8-bit MCU for networked embedded designs.
