MCHPPIC18F27Q10-E/ML

Microchip Technology
PIC PIC® XLP™ 18Q Microcontroller IC 8-Bit 64MHz 128KB (128K x 8) FLASH 28-QFN (6x6)

Overview

The PIC18F27Q10-E/ML is an 8-bit microcontroller featuring 128KB of Flash and Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) designed for low-power, high-performance applications. Operating at up to 64MHz, it includes hardware features like a 10-bit ADC with Computation (ADC2) and Configurable Logic Cells (CLC) to reduce CPU overhead in complex tasks.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU excels in power efficiency with Extreme Low-Power (XLP) modes and Peripheral Module Disable (PMD) to selectively shut down unused hardware. The inclusion of 1KB of EEPROM and 128KB of Flash provides ample storage for large lookup tables and persistent configuration data in a compact 28-pin QFN package.

Applications

Battery-Powered Remote Sensors
Utilizes XLP technology and a 0.5uA sleep current to extend the life of systems monitoring environmental or industrial data.
Signal Processing and Filtering
The integrated ADC with Computation (ADC2) allows for automated signal averaging and threshold comparisons without waking the core.
Safety-Critical Monitoring
Uses the Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT) and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC/SCAN) for memory integrity and system reliability.
Interface Bridging
Leverages multiple UART, SPI, and I2C interfaces to act as a low-power communication bridge between legacy hardware and modern sensors.
