MCHPPIC16F15225-E/MGVAO
Overview
The PIC16F15225-E/MGVAO is an 8-bit microcontroller featuring 14KB of Flash memory and 1KB of RAM in a compact 3x3mm 16-pin QFN package. Part of the PIC16F152xx family, it is designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring essential peripherals like a 10-bit ADC and Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) for flexible I/O routing. This specific variant is automotive-qualified (VAO), making it suitable for high-reliability environments.
Why Choose This Part
The Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) feature allows engineers to map digital peripherals to any I/O pin, significantly simplifying PCB layout and routing. It operates across a wide voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and features an extremely low sleep current of 0.6 microamps, making it highly efficient for battery-powered or standby-heavy designs.
Applications
Getting Started
Engineers can develop for this MCU using the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 compiler. Hardware debugging is typically handled via the MPLAB PICkit 4 or MPLAB Snap programmers using the 16-pin QFN footprint or the Curiosity Nano evaluation platform.
