MCHPPIC16LF18325-I/P
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
Key Specifications
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.
