Active1,637 in stock

Overview

The PIC16F1823-I/P is a versatile 8-bit microcontroller featuring Microchip XLP (eXtreme Low Power) technology in a hobbyist-friendly 14-pin PDIP package. It operates at speeds up to 32MHz and includes integrated peripherals such as a 10-bit ADC, capacitive touch sensing support, and multiple serial communication interfaces. This MCU is optimized for battery-powered applications where minimal standby current is critical.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a balance of high performance at 32MHz and low power consumption, drawing as little as 30uA/MHz at 1.8V. The inclusion of 256 bytes of EEPROM provides reliable non-volatile storage for calibration data or user settings without consuming Flash memory.

Applications

Battery-Powered Remote Sensors
Utilizes XLP technology to maintain extremely low sleep currents, extending the life of coin-cell operated devices.
Handheld Consumer Electronics
Integrated capacitive touch channels allow for sleek user interfaces without dedicated touch controller ICs.
Industrial Logic Control
Manages simple logic tasks and signal conditioning using the internal 10-bit ADC and hardware PWM modules.
Prototyping and Education
The through-hole PDIP package allows for direct use on breadboards and socketed prototyping PCBs.
