Overview

The PIC16F15223T-I/MG is a cost-effective 8-bit microcontroller featuring a 32MHz internal oscillator and a suite of Core Independent Peripherals designed for reliable control applications. This PIC16 series MCU includes specialized hardware for Functional Safety (FuSa) requirements and operates across a wide 1.8V to 5.5V supply range. Its small 3x3mm VQFN package makes it suitable for space-constrained embedded systems requiring low power consumption and high integration.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a high degree of integration with a 32MHz internal oscillator, reducing the need for external timing components. It features a C-compiler optimized architecture with a 16-level deep hardware stack and Core Independent Peripherals that offload the CPU for improved efficiency in real-time tasks.

Applications

Functional Safety Controllers
Utilizing integrated Memory Access Partition (MAP) and Watchdog Timer for safety-critical monitoring tasks.
Battery-Powered Sensors
Leveraging extremely low sleep currents (0.9 uA) and shutdown modes (0.6 uA) to extend operating life.
Simple Human-Machine Interfaces
Driving LED PWM signals and processing analog inputs via the 10-bit ADC for control panels.
System Supervisory Circuits
Providing brown-out reset and power-on reset capabilities to monitor larger system rails.
