Overview

The PIC16LF1823-I/ST is an 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip's eXtreme Low Power (XLP) family, featuring an enhanced mid-range RISC core capable of speeds up to 32MHz. This compact 14-pin device integrates 3.5KB of Flash memory, 256 bytes of EEPROM, and versatile serial connectivity including I2C, SPI, and USART. It is specifically designed for battery-operated applications requiring high efficiency and minimal standby current.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a high performance-to-power ratio with a precision 32MHz internal oscillator, eliminating the need for external timing components. It features an enhanced hardware stack with automatic context saving, which reduces interrupt latency and simplifies firmware development compared to baseline PIC architectures.

Applications

Remote Sensors
Ideal for battery-powered environmental sensors utilizing XLP technology to achieve sleep currents as low as 20nA.
