MCHPPIC16F18446-E/GZ
Overview
The PIC16F18446-E/GZ is an 8-bit eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) microcontroller featuring 28KB of Flash and integrated Functional Safety (FuSa) features. Operating at up to 32MHz, it includes a 12-bit ADC with Computation (ADC2) and Memory Access Partitioning to ensure code integrity in safety-critical environments. Its 20-pin UQFN package and wide 2.5V to 5.5V operating range make it suitable for space-constrained industrial applications.
Why Choose This Part
This MCU offers Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) that handle tasks without CPU intervention, significantly reducing power consumption and latency. The 28KB Flash and 2KB RAM provide ample space for complex C-code implementations while the hardware-based Memory Access Partition protects bootloader and application code sections.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Develop using the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 Compiler, utilizing the MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) for rapid peripheral setup. For hardware evaluation, the Curiosity High Pin Count (HPC) Development Board or a custom PCB paired with an MPLAB PICkit 4 programmer is recommended.
