Overview

The PIC16F15344T-I/SS is an 8-bit eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) microcontroller featuring 7KB of Flash and a 32MHz core. Part of the enhanced mid-range family, it integrates Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) such as Configurable Logic Cells (CLC) and a Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG) to reduce CPU overhead in control applications.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers high flexibility with 18 I/O pins and a 17-channel 10-bit ADC in a compact 20-SSOP package. Its Core Independent Peripherals allow for complex timing and logic functions to run autonomously, significantly reducing power consumption and software complexity.

Applications

System Supervisor
Utilizing the Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT) and Brown-out Reset (BOR) to monitor system health and power rails.
Signal Waveform Generation
Using the Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) and CWG to create precise waveforms for power conversion or motor driving.
Battery-Powered Sensors
Leveraging XLP technology and IDLE/DOZE modes to extend battery life in remote monitoring nodes.
Custom Logic Integration
Employing the Configurable Logic Cells (CLC) to implement hardware-based glue logic without consuming CPU cycles.
