MCHPPIC18F26K42-E/ML
Overview
The PIC18F26K42-E/ML is an 8-bit eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) microcontroller featuring 64KB of Flash memory and a high-performance 64MHz core. It integrates advanced Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) and two DMA controllers to handle data transfers with minimal CPU intervention. This specific variant is rated for extended temperature operation and comes in a compact 28-pin VQFN package.
Why Choose This Part
This MCU offers a Vectored Interrupt Controller for faster response times and a System Bus Arbiter that allows users to prioritize CPU or DMA access. The integration of 1KB of EEPROM provides robust non-volatile storage for calibration data without consuming Flash space.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers can use the MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 C Compiler to program this device. Hardware debugging is typically performed via the MPLAB PICkit 4 or ICD 4 in-circuit debuggers connected to the ICSP pins. For rapid prototyping, the Curiosity Nano or Explorer 8 development boards provide a compatible socketed or soldered environment.
