Overview

The PIC16LF18346T-I/SS is an 8-bit eXtreme Low Power (XLP) microcontroller featuring 28KB of Flash and a 32MHz internal oscillator. It is designed for battery-operated applications, offering specialized low-power modes and Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) for flexible I/O mapping in a compact 20-SSOP package.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU provides high flexibility through Peripheral Pin Select (PPS), allowing engineers to map digital peripherals to almost any I/O pin. It includes dedicated hardware for signal modulation and waveform generation, such as the Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG) and Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO).

Applications

Battery-Powered Handheld Devices
Utilizes XLP technology with sleep currents as low as 40nA to extend battery life in portable electronics.
Remote Sensor Nodes
Integrated 10-bit ADC, CRC, and DMA modules allow for efficient data collection and transmission without constant CPU intervention.
Custom Logic Integration
Uses Configurable Logic Cells (CLC) to implement hardware logic functions, reducing the need for external logic gates.
