Overview

The PIC16F15244-I/SS is an 8-bit microcontroller featuring a 32MHz core speed and 7KB of flash memory, designed with Functional Safety (FuSa) features for high-reliability environments. It integrates a 12-bit ADC and multiple Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) to reduce CPU overhead in sensor interfacing and control tasks. This SSOP-20 device operates across a wide 1.8V to 5.5V supply range, making it suitable for both legacy 5V systems and modern low-power designs.

Why Choose This Part

This microcontroller offers a 12-bit ADC for high-resolution sensor sampling in a compact 20-pin package. Its functional safety orientation and robust 25mA I/O drive capability allow it to interact directly with relays and LEDs while maintaining system integrity through hardware-based monitoring.

Applications

Industrial Safety Monitoring
Utilizes integrated POR, BOR, and WDT for fail-safe operation in industrial equipment monitoring.
Smart Home Appliances
Ideal for motor control and user interface management in appliances requiring 5V logic and reliable sensor data conversion.
Automotive Interior Lighting
Provides LINbus support and PWM peripherals for managing LED strings and cabin comfort controls.
Battery-Powered Handheld Tools
Features 0.4 uA sleep current for extending battery life in tools that spend long periods in standby.
