PIC16LF15356-I/SS - Microchip Technology

The PIC16LF15356-I/SS is a high-performance, 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip Technology, designed for a wide range of applications. This versatile MCU features an enhanced mid-range core with 49 Instruction, 16 Stack Levels, and operates at a voltage range of 1.8V to 3.6V. The device is housed in an SSOP-28 (Shrink Small Outline Package) which is ideal for space-constrained applications.

With a generous 28 KB of Flash program memory and 2 KB of SRAM, the PIC16LF15356-I/SS provides ample space for complex applications. Additionally, it includes 256 bytes of EEPROM for non-volatile data storage. The device boasts a robust set of peripherals, including:

• Two Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) modules
• Four 10-bit PWMs
• Two 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC) with Computation
• Two Comparators
• Zero-Cross Detect (ZCD)
• Two 8-bit Timers (TMR2/4) and one 16-bit Timer (TMR0)
• Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (EUSART)
• Two Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) with SPI and I²C

The PIC16LF15356-I/SS also features a Configurable Logic Cell (CLC) which enables the creation of custom logic and interconnection of peripherals internally, thereby reducing the need for external components and minimizing PCB space. It supports an internal oscillator with a frequency range of 32 kHz to 32 MHz, which eliminates the need for an external crystal, further saving on component count and design complexity.

With its eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) technology, this microcontroller is particularly suitable for battery-powered applications, where power consumption is critical. The device's Power-Saving Modes including Idle and Doze, which provide the flexibility to optimize power consumption versus processing speed, according to the application's requirements.

For development and debugging, the PIC16LF15356-I/SS is supported by MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and MPLAB Code Configurator. This support simplifies the development process, from the initial software design to hardware debugging.

The PIC16LF15356-I/SS is an excellent choice for designers looking for a microcontroller that offers a balance between performance, power efficiency, and peripheral integration for advanced control applications.
