Overview

The PIC18F27K40T-I/SS is a high-performance 8-bit microcontroller featuring 128KB of Flash memory and 3.6KB of RAM in a compact 28-SSOP package. It is part of the PIC18 K40 family, which integrates eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) technology with core independent peripherals for efficient power management and real-time task handling. Operating at speeds up to 64MHz, it provides a robust platform for data-intensive 8-bit applications.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers a significant memory footprint for an 8-bit device, providing 128KB of Flash and 1024 bytes of EEPROM for non-volatile data storage. Its Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) feature allows for flexible mapping of digital I/O to any pin, greatly simplifying PCB layout and routing. Additionally, the XLP technology ensures industry-leading power consumption in sleep modes, which is critical for energy-constrained designs.

Applications

Industrial Control Systems
The 128KB Flash and integrated peripherals like the Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT) make it suitable for reliable process monitoring and control.
Low-Power Sensor Nodes
Utilizes XLP technology to achieve sleep currents as low as 400nA, extending battery life in remote sensing applications.
Automotive Aftermarket Electronics
Supports LINbus and UART for communication within vehicle subsystems and peripheral networking.
Human Machine Interface (HMI)
The Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) and high I/O count allow for flexible interfacing with buttons, LEDs, and simple displays.
