MCHPPIC18F45K40-I/PT
Overview
The PIC18F45K40-I/PT is a versatile 8-bit microcontroller featuring 32KB of Flash memory and a 64MHz internal oscillator. Part of the PIC18 'K40' family, it integrates eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology with core independent peripherals to handle complex tasks with minimal CPU intervention. Its 44-pin TQFP package provides 36 I/O pins, making it suitable for applications requiring significant digital and analog interfacing.
Why Choose This Part
Engineers choose this part for its Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) feature, which simplifies PCB routing by allowing digital peripherals to be mapped to any I/O pin. The integration of 256 bytes of EEPROM provides reliable non-volatile storage for calibration data and user settings without requiring external components.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Development is primarily supported through Microchip MPLAB X IDE and the XC8 C Compiler. For rapid prototyping, the Curiosity High Pin Count (HPC) Development Board is the recommended hardware platform, while the MPLAB PICkit 4 or ICD 4 serve as the standard in-circuit debugger and programmer.
