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

Industrial Sensor Nodes
Utilizes 12-bit ADC with computation features and DMA for local signal processing in harsh environments.
Low-Power Handheld Devices
Leverages XLP technology and sleep currents as low as 40nA to extend battery life in portable electronics.
Communication Gateways
Manages multiple protocols using I2C, SPI, and UART interfaces with hardware CRC for data integrity.
Automotive Interior Control
Suitable for non-safety critical cabin functions requiring LINbus connectivity and extended temperature range.

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.
