Active793 in stock

Overview

The PIC16LF1825-I/P is a high-performance 8-bit microcontroller featuring Microchip Extreme Low Power (XLP) technology and mTouch capacitive sensing capabilities. Operating at up to 32MHz, it provides 14KB of flash memory and a rich set of digital and analog peripherals in a breadboard-friendly 14-pin PDIP package.

Why Choose This Part

The 'LF' variant is optimized for low-voltage operation, making it highly efficient for 1.8V to 3.6V systems. It features a factory-calibrated 32MHz internal oscillator and 256 bytes of EEPROM for non-volatile storage of calibration data or user settings.

Applications

Battery-Powered Handheld Devices
Utilizes XLP technology to achieve sleep currents as low as 20nA, extending the life of portable electronics.
Capacitive Touch Interfaces
Integrated mTouch sensing module allows for the implementation of touch buttons and sliders without external controllers.
Remote Sensors
Small footprint and low power consumption make it ideal for distributed sensor nodes using I2C or SPI communication.
Rapid Prototyping
The PDIP package allows for direct insertion into breadboards for educational use or initial circuit validation.
