Overview

The PIC12F1840-I/P is a high-performance 8-bit microcontroller in a compact 8-pin PDIP package, featuring 7KB of Flash memory and 256 bytes of EEPROM. It utilizes Microchip's Enhanced Mid-range core with nanoWatt XLP technology for extremely low power consumption in battery-operated applications. This MCU integrates a variety of peripherals including an ADC, PWM, and digital communication interfaces within a minimal footprint.

Why Choose This Part

The part offers a high memory-to-pin ratio with 7KB of Flash in an 8-pin package, allowing for sophisticated logic in space-constrained designs. Its XLP technology ensures industry-leading low power performance, while the integrated EEPROM provides robust non-volatile storage for calibration data and user settings.

Applications

Battery-Powered Remote Sensors
Utilizing nanoWatt XLP technology to minimize sleep current in intermittent monitoring systems.
Household Appliances
Providing simple logic control and user interface management for small consumer devices.
LED Lighting Control
Using integrated PWM and timers for dimming and color sequence management in compact lighting modules.
System Supervisors
Acting as a secondary watchdog or power-sequencing controller for larger, more complex processors.

Getting Started

Development is supported by the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 compiler. Hardware debugging and programming can be performed using the MPLAB PICkit 4 or Snap in-circuit debuggers connected to the ICSP pins. For rapid prototyping, the Curiosity Development Board (DM164137) provides an integrated socket and programmer for 8-pin PIC microcontrollers.
