Overview

The PIC16F15213T-I/MF is a cost-effective 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip's functional safety ready family, featuring an enhanced mid-range core running up to 32MHz. Housed in a compact 8-pin DFN package, it provides essential peripherals including a 10-bit ADC and multiple serial communication interfaces for space-constrained applications. This MCU is designed for reliability in small-scale control tasks that require hardware safety features like a Watchdog Timer and Brown-out Reset.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers a small physical footprint with a 3x3mm DFN package while maintaining a wide operating voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V. Its low-power architecture consumes only 1.5mA at 16MHz, making it suitable for battery-operated systems needing basic functional safety support.

Applications

Industrial Sensor Nodes
Ideal for small, low-power remote sensors that transmit data via I2C or UART in harsh environments.
Safety-Critical Monitoring
Utilizes integrated POR, BOR, and WDT for basic system health monitoring and fail-safe operations.
Simple LED/Power Control
Manages PWM signals for brightness control or DC-DC conversion in compact consumer devices.
