Overview

The PIC16F19197-I/PT is a highly integrated 8-bit microcontroller featuring specialized peripherals for battery-powered applications with integrated LCD control. It includes 56KB of Flash memory and a 12-bit ADC with computation (ADC2) to simplify complex sensor data processing at the hardware level. With its high pin count and integrated Real-Time Clock and Calendar (RTCC), it serves as a robust controller for user interface and instrumentation tasks.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a direct LCD drive capability for up to 320 segments, reducing system cost by eliminating external display drivers. The Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs), such as the Complementary Waveform Generator and Configurable Logic Cells, allow for complex tasks to be handled without CPU intervention, increasing efficiency and responsiveness.

Applications

Battery-Powered Handheld Devices
Utilizes the integrated LCD driver and low-power sleep modes to extend battery life in portable tools and instruments.
Smart Utility Meters
Leverages the RTCC and large Flash memory for data logging and time-stamped event tracking in electricity or water meters.
Industrial Control Panels
The 64-pin TQFP package provides ample I/O for driving alphanumeric LCDs while managing multiple sensor inputs via the 12-bit ADC.
Environmental Monitors
Combines high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion with internal comparators for monitoring air quality or temperature sensors.

Getting Started

Development is supported by the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 compiler. Engineers should utilize the MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) to graphically initialize the LCD controller and Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) mapping. For hardware prototyping, the Curiosity Nano or Explorer 8 development boards provide a compatible environment for the PIC16F19xxx family.
