Overview

The PIC16F1823-I/SL is an 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip's Enhanced Mid-range core family featuring eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology. Operating at speeds up to 32MHz, it integrates 3.5KB of Flash memory and 256 bytes of EEPROM in a compact 14-pin SOIC package. It is designed for applications requiring high efficiency and a small physical footprint with versatile serial connectivity.

Why Choose This Part

The part excels in power efficiency, drawing as little as 30 uA/MHz at 1.8V during active operation. It provides a robust set of peripherals for its size, including a 16-level hardware stack, automatic context saving, and a precision 32MHz internal oscillator that eliminates the need for external timing components.

Applications

Battery-Powered Remote Sensors
Utilizes XLP technology and low sleep currents (20nA) to extend the life of coin-cell operated environmental sensors.
Handheld Medical Devices
Ideal for portable glucose meters or pulse oximeters that require small form factors and precise timing.
Automotive Interior Lighting
Used for localized control of LEDs and cabin accents thanks to integrated PWM and LINbus support.
Industrial Safety Interlocks
Employs the hardware stack overflow/underflow reset and Brown-out Reset for reliable operation in noisy environments.
