Overview

The PIC16F18324-I/SL is a versatile 8-bit microcontroller featuring Microchip XLP (eXtreme Low Power) technology and integrated Functional Safety (FuSa) features. It operates up to 32MHz with 7KB of Flash memory and includes Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) that reduce CPU overhead for timing and logic tasks. The 14-pin SOIC package makes it suitable for space-constrained applications requiring robust peripheral sets and low power consumption.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) for flexible I/O mapping, allowing engineers to simplify PCB routing. The inclusion of Core Independent Peripherals like the CLC and NCO enables complex hardware responses at 32MHz while maintaining low power consumption. It also features a dedicated 256-byte EEPROM for non-volatile data storage, separate from the 7KB Flash.

Applications

Functional Safety Controllers
Utilizes integrated hardware features like Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT) and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC/SCAN) to meet safety standards.
Battery-Powered Remote Sensors
Leverages XLP technology with sleep currents as low as 40uA and standby at 250uA for extended battery life.
Custom Logic Integration
Uses Configurable Logic Cells (CLC) to implement glue logic or hardware state machines without consuming CPU cycles.
Lighting Control
Employs the Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG) and Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) for precise bridge-driver and PWM control.
