Microchip Technology PIC12F(LF)1840/PIC16F(LF)1847 enhanced MCU range

The latest additions to its enhanced mid-range core 8-bit PIC microcontroller family are the PIC12F(LF)1840 and PIC16F(LF)1847.

Featuring 7 and 14 KB of on-chip flash memory and up to 1 K RAM, the devices are said to be the highest-memory PIC MCUs in 8- and 18-pin packages.

The ‘LF’ versions feature eXtreme low-power (XLP) technology, for active currents of less than 40 µA/MHz and sleep currents down to 20 nA. With their high level of peripherals and features, including mTouch capacitive touch sensing and multiple communications peripherals, these general-purpose MCUs are suitable for a wide range of applications.

The MCUs are integrated, featuring multiple PWMs with independent time bases, a LIN-capable EUSART, and up to two I²C/SPI interfaces.

The on-chip, 32-level voltage reference can be used as a digital-to-analog converter and the data signal modulator enables designers to create custom bit patterns using a broad spectrum of inputs.
