Overview

The PIC16F15344-E/SSVAO is an 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip's eXtreme Low Power (XLP) family, specifically qualified for automotive applications. It features a 32MHz internal oscillator, 7KB of Flash memory, and a suite of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) that reduce CPU overhead for real-time control tasks. This SSOP-20 variant is designed for high-temperature reliability in harsh environments.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU features Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) like the CWG and NCO which handle hardware timing without CPU intervention, lowering power consumption and increasing response speed. It offers a wide operating voltage from 1.8V to 5.5V and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive reliability. The inclusion of Memory Access Partition (MAP) and write protection enhances data security and bootloader integrity.

Applications

Automotive Sensor Interface
Utilizes the 12-bit ADC with computation features for processing analog signals from vehicle sensors.
LIN Bus Nodes
The integrated EUSART and hardware LIN support make it suitable for secondary automotive communication networks.
LED Lighting Control
Employs the 4 PWM channels and Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG) for precise lighting and dimming control.
System Monitoring
Uses the Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT) and Brown-out Reset (BOR) to ensure functional safety in industrial or automotive modules.
