Overview

The PIC16F18345-I/SS is an 8-bit PIC16 microcontroller featuring Microchip's eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology and Functional Safety (FuSa) features for reliable embedded control. It operates at up to 32MHz with 14KB of Flash memory and 256 bytes of EEPROM in a compact 20-SSOP package. This device integrates versatile Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) like Configurable Logic Cells (CLC) and a Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG) to reduce CPU overhead.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU excels in low-power efficiency, drawing as little as 40uA in sleep mode while maintaining memory retention. The inclusion of Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) allows flexible routing of digital I/O to any pin, simplifying PCB layout. Its Core Independent Peripherals enable complex tasks, such as signal modulation and logic functions, to be handled entirely in hardware, freeing up the CPU for application logic.

Applications

Industrial Safety Controllers
Utilizes integrated Functional Safety features and hardware monitoring to manage emergency stops and safety interlocks.
Smart Sensor Nodes
Leverages XLP technology and 18 I/O pins for battery-powered environmental monitoring with I2C or SPI connectivity.
LED Lighting Control
Employs the Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) and PWM peripherals for precise dimming and color mixing.
Automotive Interior Electronics
Interfaces with vehicle networks via the LINbus compatibility for seat or window control modules.

Getting Started

Development is supported by the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 C Compiler. For rapid prototyping, use the Curiosity Development Board (DM164137) or the MPLAB PICkit 4 in-circuit debugger. Microchip's MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) is recommended to graphically initialize the Core Independent Peripherals and PPS settings.
