Active487 in stock

Overview

The PIC16LF18325-I/P is a versatile 8-bit microcontroller featuring Microchip eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology and Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs). Operating at up to 32MHz with 14KB of Flash, this 14-pin PDIP version is specifically designed for low-voltage applications (1.8V to 3.6V) where minimal power consumption is critical.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU stands out for its Core Independent Peripherals like the Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) and DMA, which handle timing and data movement tasks while the CPU is in sleep mode. The 14-pin PDIP form factor provides a high ratio of high-current I/O (up to 50mA) to board space for simplified power switching designs.

Applications

Battery-Powered Remote Sensors
Utilizes XLP technology and 40uA sleep current to extend the life of small coin-cell powered wireless nodes.
Signal Conditioning
Leverages the Integrated Configurable Logic Cell (CLC) and Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG) for hardware-based signal processing without CPU overhead.
Handheld Medical Devices
Ideal for portable monitors requiring a small footprint and low operating voltage across I2C and SPI interfaces.
Educational Prototyping
The through-hole PDIP package allows for easy use on breadboards and socketed development for students and hobbyists.

Getting Started

Developers can use the MPLAB X IDE and the MPLAB XC8 Compiler for firmware development. Hardware debugging and programming are typically performed using the MPLAB PICkit 4 or MPLAB ICD 4 via the ICSP interface pins. For rapid evaluation, the PIC16F18325 Curiosity Nano development board can be used to test code before migrating to the PDIP component.
