MCHPPIC12F1822-I/SN

Overview

The PIC12F1822-I/SN is a compact 8-bit microcontroller featuring Microchip's eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology in a space-saving 8-pin SOIC package. It operates at speeds up to 32MHz and includes 3.5KB of Flash memory along with a dedicated 256-byte EEPROM for non-volatile data storage. This MCU is designed for cost-sensitive, power-constrained applications requiring essential digital and analog peripherals.

Why Choose This Part

The device offers a high level of integration for its size, including a precision internal oscillator and multiple communication interfaces like I2C, SPI, and UART. Its 25mA source/sink capability per I/O allows for direct driving of LEDs or small relays without external transistors. Engineers benefit from the dedicated 256-byte EEPROM, which simplifies the storage of calibration data and configuration parameters.

Applications

Getting Started

Development is supported by the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 compiler. Hardware prototyping can be performed using the MPLAB PICkit 4 or In-Circuit Debugger (ICD) via the In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) interface. For rapid evaluation, the PIC12F1822 is compatible with the Curiosity Development Board ecosystem.

Also Consider

ATtiny85 MCHPMicrochip Technology - Offers more Flash memory (8KB) in the same 8-pin SOIC footprint for more complex firmware requirements.

PIC12F1572-I/SN MCHPMicrochip Technology - Provides enhanced 16-bit PWM resolution which is better suited for precise LED dimming and motor control applications.

STM8L051F3P6 STMicroelectronics - An alternative 8-bit low-power architecture with more I/O pins and a slightly different peripheral set in a TSSOP package.
