MCHPPIC16F18456-I/SS
Overview
The PIC16F18456-I/SS is a high-performance 8-bit microcontroller from the PIC16 family featuring XLP (Extreme Low Power) technology. It offers 16KB of Flash memory and 1KB of RAM in a compact 28-pin SSOP package, optimized for low-power sensor nodes and portable applications. This device includes flexible Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) that reduce CPU overhead and power consumption by handling tasks in hardware.
Why Choose This Part
This MCU excels in power-sensitive designs with a sleep current as low as 50nA and multiple power-saving modes like Doze and Idle. The Core Independent Peripherals allow for complex timing and logic operations to continue without waking the core, significantly improving efficiency. Its 5.5V maximum operating voltage provides robustness in various industrial and consumer power environments.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Development is best supported through the Microchip MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 Compiler. For rapid prototyping, use the MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) to graphically initialize peripherals and generate C code. Hardware debugging is typically performed using an MPLAB PICkit 4 or Snap in-circuit debugger connected to the 28-SSOP pins.
