Overview

The PIC16F18325-I/SL is an 8-bit eXtreme Low Power (XLP) microcontroller featuring 14KB of Flash memory and a 32MHz internal oscillator. Part of Microchip's Functional Safety Ready portfolio, it includes specialized hardware like Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) and Core Independent Peripherals to offload tasks from the CPU. This 14-pin SOIC device is optimized for low-power sensor nodes and safety-critical control applications.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a highly flexible I/O configuration via Peripheral Pin Select (PPS), allowing engineers to map digital peripherals to almost any pin to simplify PCB routing. It balances 14KB of program space and 1KB of RAM with high-performance 32MHz operation in a compact 14-pin footprint, making it ideal for space-constrained designs that require robust peripheral support.

Applications

Battery-Powered Sensor Nodes
Utilizes XLP technology with sleep currents as low as 40nA to extend the life of small coin-cell operated devices.
Industrial Safety Monitoring
Integrated Functional Safety features and hardware monitoring make it suitable for basic Class B safety-compliant systems.
Hardware-Based Signal Modulation
Uses the Configurable Logic Cell (CLC) and PWM peripherals to handle signal processing without constant CPU intervention.
Automotive Interior Control
Supports LINbus communication for managing lighting, window controls, or simple dashboard sensors.

Getting Started

Developers should use the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 Compiler for firmware development. Hardware debugging is typically performed using the MPLAB PICkit 4 or MPLAB Snap in-circuit debugger. For rapid prototyping, the Curiosity Development Board (DM164137) provides a compatible environment for the PIC16F1xxxx family.
