Overview

The PIC16LF1823-I/SL is an 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip's Enhanced Mid-range family featuring eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology. This device integrates 3.5KB of Flash memory and a rich set of peripherals, including a 32MHz internal oscillator and data EEPROM, into a compact 14-pin SOIC package. It is specifically designed for battery-operated applications where power consumption is a primary design constraint.

Why Choose This Part

The XLP technology provides industry-leading low power consumption, typical at 30 uA/MHz at 1.8V, extending battery life significantly. It offers high integration for its pin count, including 256 bytes of non-volatile EEPROM and support for I2C, SPI, and UART interfaces.

Applications

Battery-Powered Remote Sensors
Utilizes XLP technology to minimize current draw in sleep modes for long-term deployment.
Handheld Portable Devices
Small 14-SOIC footprint and integrated internal oscillator save board space in compact consumer designs.
Automotive Lighting Controls
Integrated LINbus support and PWM peripherals make it suitable for localized vehicle networking and dimming control.
Industrial Safety Monitoring
Features a hardware Brown-out Reset and Watchdog Timer for reliable operation in noisy environments.

Getting Started

Developers can begin by using the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 Compiler from Microchip. For hardware debugging and programming, the PICkit 4 or MPLAB Snap tools connect via the two-pin ICSP interface. The MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) is recommended to quickly initialize the clock and peripheral settings.
