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

Automotive Body Electronics
Ideal for interior lighting, window control, and sensor monitoring where AEC-Q100 qualification and a small footprint are required.
Industrial Sensor Nodes
Leverages the 10-bit ADC and low power consumption for distributed sensing and signal conditioning.
Basic Motor Control
Uses the CCP and PWM modules for driving small DC motors or fans in thermal management systems.

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.
