After all, PIC does stand for Peripheral Interface Controller. :lol:
Actually, it's meaning is generally shrouded in mystery?, although that is what many people (including myself) consider it to mean. MicroChip themselves don't seem able to give a definitive answer?, mind you the name was there a long time before MicroChip were!.
Likewise AVR stands for "we were trying to copy a PIC and steal some of their market, so we made up a three letter name to try and be as close as possible" :lol:
