Microchip Technology
PIC PIC® 18F Microcontroller IC 8-Bit 40MHz 64KB (32K x 16) FLASH 40-PDIP
Active7,121 in stock

Overview

The PIC18F4620-I/P is a high-performance 8-bit microcontroller featuring 64KB of Flash memory and Microchip nanoWatt technology for power-efficient operation. It operates at speeds up to 40MHz and includes an 8x8 single-cycle hardware multiplier, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate computational capability in a traditional through-hole package.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU provides a robust 5V-tolerant architecture with high source/sink current capabilities of up to 25mA on I/O pins. Its nanoWatt technology offers multiple power-managed modes, while the extended instruction set improves code density for complex C-based applications.

Applications

Industrial Control Systems
Utilizing the 10-bit A/D converter and enhanced CCP modules for sensor interfacing and actuator control.
Legacy System Retrofitting
The 40-pin PDIP package allows for easy integration into existing through-hole PCB designs or socketed applications.
Communication Bridges
Implementing protocol conversion between I2C, SPI, and USART interfaces in industrial environments.
Data Logging
Leveraging the 1024 bytes of integrated EEPROM for non-volatile storage of configuration data and system logs.
