Overview

The PIC16LF1574-I/SL is an 8-bit eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) microcontroller featuring 7KB of Flash memory and a 32MHz internal oscillator. Part of the enhanced mid-range core family, it is specifically designed for battery-operated applications requiring precise timing and low-power operation between 1.8V and 3.6V.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) feature that allows engineers to map digital I/O to any pin, simplifying PCB layout. Its high level of integration includes a 16-level deep hardware stack and optimized C compiler support for efficient code execution in a small 14-pin SOIC footprint.

Applications

LED Dimming and Control
Utilizes multiple high-resolution PWM channels and the Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG) for sophisticated lighting effects and power conversion.
Battery-Powered Remote Sensors
Leverages XLP technology and 0.02uA typical sleep current for long-term monitoring in localized sensor nodes.
LINbus Communication Nodes
The integrated EUSART and internal voltage reference facilitate cost-effective LINbus slave implementations for industrial and basic automotive networking.
