Overview

The PIC16F15385-E/6MXVAO is an 8-bit microcontroller featuring 14KB of Flash memory and a rich set of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) for low-power, real-time control. This specific variant is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications and operates at speeds up to 32MHz. It provides a high I/O count with 44 pins in a 48-pin package, offering significant flexibility for interfacing and signal routing.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU features Memory Access Partition (MAP) for secure boot and write protection, alongside a Device Information Area for factory-stored unique IDs. The integration of Core Independent Peripherals allows for complex hardware logic that operates without CPU intervention, significantly reducing power consumption and latency.

Applications

Automotive Body Electronics
Ideal for interior lighting control, window lifts, and mirror adjustments due to AEC-Q100 qualification and LINbus support.
Industrial Sensor Nodes
Uses the integrated 10-bit ADC and comparators for processing analog signals from sensors before digital transmission.
Distributed Control Systems
Functions as a secondary controller in complex systems, offloading tasks from a main processor using its autonomous CIPs.

Getting Started

Development is supported by the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 C Compiler. For hardware debugging and programming, use the MPLAB PICkit 4 or ICD 4 tools via the In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) interface. Microchip's Code Configurator (MCC) is recommended to quickly initialize the peripherals and I/O mapping.
