Overview

The PIC16F18346-I/SS is an 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip's eXtreme Low Power (XLP) family, featuring 28KB of Flash and a 32MHz internal oscillator. It is specifically designed with Functional Safety (FuSa) features and Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) to handle timing and logic tasks with minimal CPU intervention. This makes it an efficient choice for applications requiring high reliability and low power consumption in a compact 20-SSOP package.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU excels in power efficiency thanks to its XLP architecture and Doze/Idle modes. The inclusion of Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) allows for flexible I/O routing, simplifying PCB layout, while the 256 bytes of EEPROM provide robust non-volatile storage for calibration data.

Applications

Functional Safety Controllers
Utilizes integrated hardware features to meet safety standards in industrial and automotive sub-systems.
Battery-Powered Remote Sensors
Leverages XLP technology with sleep currents as low as 40uA and standby currents of 1uA for extended battery life.
Custom Logic Integration
Uses Configurable Logic Cells (CLC) and Numerically Controlled Oscillators (NCO) to replace external discrete logic components.
Signal Modulation
The Data Signal Modulator (DSM) and Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG) enable complex waveform generation for power conversion or IR communication.
