Overview

The PIC16F15325-E/JQ is an 8-bit eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) microcontroller featuring 14KB of Flash and a 32MHz internal oscillator. It integrates versatile Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) and power-saving modes like Doze and Idle to minimize power consumption in battery-operated designs. This variant is rated for extended temperature ranges and comes in a compact 16-UQFN package.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a balance of 14KB Flash and 1KB RAM with a robust set of CIPs that handle tasks without CPU intervention, reducing overall power draw. It supports a wide operating voltage from 2.3V to 5.5V and includes a 16-level hardware stack for efficient C-compiler performance.

Applications

Battery-Powered Remote Sensors
Utilizes XLP technology and a 50nA sleep current to extend the life of coin-cell operated monitoring nodes.
System Supervisors
Acts as a low-power co-processor for power sequencing, reset management, and windowed watchdog timing in complex systems.
Handheld Consumer Electronics
Provides efficient 10-bit ADC sampling and PWM generation for small-scale user interface and motor control tasks.
