MCHPPIC16F18323-I/JQ
Overview
The PIC16F18323-I/JQ is a versatile 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip's eXtreme Low Power (XLP) family, featuring 3.5KB of Flash and a 32MHz core. It integrates Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) that allow for hardware-based task execution with minimal CPU intervention, significantly reducing power consumption. This specific variant comes in a compact 16-UQFN package, making it suitable for space-constrained designs requiring multiple communication interfaces like I2C, SPI, and UART.
Why Choose This Part
This MCU offers exceptional power efficiency with a run current of 37 uA/MHz at 1.8V and a standby current of 0.25 uA. The inclusion of 256 bytes of EEPROM provides reliable non-volatile storage for calibration data, while the 16-level deep hardware stack and RISC architecture simplify C-based firmware development.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers can begin by using the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 Compiler, which are optimized for this architecture. For hardware debugging, the MPLAB PICkit 4 or MPLAB Snap programmers are recommended, and the Curiosity High Pin Count (HPC) Development Board can be used for rapid prototyping with the 16-pin layout.
