Overview

The PIC16F18326-I/JQ is an 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip's XLP (eXtreme Low Power) family, featuring 28KB of Flash and 2KB of RAM. It is designed for functional safety applications and includes a suite of Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) that allow for complex tasks with minimal CPU intervention. This specific variant comes in a space-efficient 16-pin UQFN package suitable for compact designs.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU excels in power efficiency with a sleep current of only 40nA and a standby current of 250nA. The inclusion of Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) offers maximum routing flexibility on small PCBs, while the Core Independent Peripherals reduce software overhead and power consumption.

Applications

Functional Safety Controllers
Utilizes hardware features like Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT) and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to meet industrial safety standards.
Low-Power Sensor Nodes
Leverages XLP technology and Sleep/Idle modes to extend battery life in remote monitoring applications.
Signal Modulation and Logic
Uses the Configurable Logic Cell (CLC) and Data Signal Modulator (DSM) to implement hardware-based logic gates and custom communication protocols.
Automotive Interior Control
Suitable for simple LINbus-based tasks such as lighting control or switch monitoring due to its integrated USART and small footprint.

Getting Started

Development is best supported through the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 compiler. The PIC16F18326 can be prototyped using the MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) to graphically initialize the Core Independent Peripherals. Hardware debugging is typically performed via the MPLAB PICkit 4 or MPLAB Snap in-circuit programmers.
