PIC18F2553-I/SO Übersicht

The Microchip Technology PIC18F2553-I/SO is an 8-bit PIC18 enhanced flash microcontroller with integrated Full-Speed USB 2.0 (12 Mbit/s), 32 KB of program flash, 2 KB of SRAM and a 12-bit ADC, packaged in a 28-pin SOIC (300-mil). It executes instructions at up to 48 MHz (12 MIPS) from a 4.2 V to 5.5 V supply and ships in the -40 C to +85 C industrial temperature grade.

A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, non-volatile program memory, working RAM, peripheral interfaces and I/O on one die. Within the broader semiconductor hierarchy, the PIC18F2553 sits in the PIC18 enhanced flash family of 8-bit RISC microcontrollers from Microchip, which target applications that need richer peripherals (USB, ADC, multiple serial ports) than baseline PIC10/12/16 parts but do not require a 16-bit or 32-bit core. The PIC18 family uses a 16-bit instruction word on an 8-bit data path, allowing linear addressing of larger memory arrays.

Key features include nanoWatt power-management modes for battery-aware designs, three serial ports (FS-USB, I2C, SPI up to 10 Mbit/s), a 10-channel 12-bit ADC with on-chip acquisition, two analog comparators, a Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) module, an Enhanced CCP module, and an internal 8 MHz oscillator that can be switched to 32 MHz via the 4x PLL to reach the full 48 MHz MIPS rate. A hardware USART and a parallel slave port round out the peripheral set, and the part supports in-circuit serial programming (ICSP) plus in-circuit debug.

Typical applications include USB HID / CDC peripherals (custom keyboards, mice, sensor bridges, virtual COM ports), low-cost data-acquisition front-ends, industrial sensor conditioning with the 12-bit ADC, capacitive-touch user interfaces, LED controllers and small consumer appliances that need on-the-go connectivity without an external PHY. The integrated FS-USB transceiver and the on-chip 3.3V regulator remove the need for an external PHY or LDO for the bus pull-up rail.

When designing, observe the 4.2 V minimum VDD for the 48 MHz configuration; below this the part must be derated to a lower Fosc. Place a 1 uF bulk + 0.1 uF decoupling pair close to VDD, keep the D+/D- traces length-matched and 90 ohm differential impedance, and reserve an ICSP header (PGD/PGC/VPP/GND) for factory programming.

Typische Anwendungen

PIC18F2553-I/SO ist geeignet für 7 Anwendungs: USB HID Peripheral (Keyboard / Mouse / Sensor Bridge), USB CDC Virtual COM Port / Data Acquisition Front-End, Industrial Sensor Conditioning / 4-20 mA Transmitter, Capacitive Touch User Interface, LED Lighting Controller (DMX / WS28xx / Art-Net), Consumer Appliance User Interface / Battery Charger, Educational / Hobbyist Development Platform.

🧩

USB HID Peripheral (Keyboard / Mouse / Sensor Bridge)

The PIC18F2553-I/SO is a strong fit for USB HID peripherals because its integrated USB 2.0 Full-Speed transceiver, on-chip 3.3 V VUSB regulator, and 12 MIPS PIC18 core can run Microchip's free USB HID bootloader and HID class driver without an external PHY. Designers typically wire D+ and D- directly to the USB connector with a 90 ohm differential pair, attach a 1.5 kohm pull-up on D+ for full-speed detection, and add 0.1 uF decoupling on VUSB. With 32 KB of flash and 2 KB of SRAM, the part comfortably fits a USB HID stack plus custom I/O handling for buttons, rotary encoders, or sensor reports; pin-to-pin drop-in alternatives (PIC18F2550-I/SO, PIC18F25K50-I/SO) cover firmware-size and migration variants.

🖥️

USB CDC Virtual COM Port / Data Acquisition Front-End

For low-cost USB-to-UART bridges or CDC-based DAQ modules, the PIC18F2553-I/SO's 48 MHz CPU and FS-USB peripheral deliver 12 MIPS of throughput for the CDC class driver plus a fixed-rate ADC streaming pipeline. The 10-channel 12-bit ADC supports up to 100 ksps aggregate with DMA-style double-buffering in firmware, and the nanoWatt sleep modes keep idle current under 5 uA for battery-aware designs. Compared to the PIC18F2550-I/SO, the F2553's 32 KB flash lets the device run the full CDC stack plus a small command interpreter and oversampling firmware. Pin-compatible same-brand alternatives (PIC18F2455-I/SO) allow a designer to keep one PCB footprint and swap silicon if supply tightens.

🏭

Industrial Sensor Conditioning / 4-20 mA Transmitter

The PIC18F2553-I/SO's 12-bit ADC, two analog comparators and nanoWatt power-management suite suit 4-20 mA loop-powered sensor transmitters where the MCU must digitize analog signals, run linearization math, and drive a current loop from a tightly regulated supply. Running at 48 MHz from the VDD rail and idling in sleep between conversions keeps average current below the 3.5 mA loop budget, while the 2 KB of SRAM holds transient oversampling buffers. The same SOIC-28 footprint is shared by the PIC18F2550-I/SO and PIC18F25K50-I/SO, so a board designed for the F2553 accepts its pin-compatible variants without layout changes, helping industrial buyers manage multi-sourcing.

📱

Capacitive Touch User Interface

For low-cost capacitive touch panels (keypads, sliders, proximity wake-up), the PIC18F2553-I/SO's nanoWatt mode, hardware timer-capture blocks and 12-bit ADC enable the mTouch firmware framework from Microchip to scan up to ~12 electrodes without an external touch controller. The internal 8 MHz RC oscillator provides low-power wake-ups, and the 4x PLL brings the core to 48 MHz for response-heavy gestures. Adding the USB peripheral makes it easy to expose the touch state as a HID digitizer over USB, while the 28-pin SOIC footprint keeps the BOM under 50 cents per axis. The PIC18F2550-I/SO is the closest same-brand drop-in for simpler buttons-only touch panels.

💡

LED Lighting Controller (DMX / WS28xx / Art-Net)

LED controllers that decode DMX-512 or drive WS28xx daisy-chained LEDs need a real-time bit-banging peripheral plus USB for configuration, both of which the PIC18F2553-I/SO provides via its SPI peripheral (up to 10 Mbit/s), hardware PWM/CCP blocks, and integrated USB. The 48 MHz CPU sustains 800 kHz WS28xx refresh for several hundred pixels per output pin while servicing USB CDC control traffic. The 28-pin SOIC variant is small enough for a 25 mm x 30 mm controller board, and the part's industrial temperature grade is comfortable for outdoor-rated lighting. Designers wanting more RAM or a faster core migrate to the PIC18F25K50-I/SO with no PCB rework.

⚡

Consumer Appliance User Interface / Battery Charger

Consumer appliances from coffee machines to cordless vacuum battery chargers benefit from the PIC18F2553-I/SO's mix of analog (12-bit ADC, two comparators for current sensing), PWM (CCP + ECCP for switch-mode power stages) and USB (for diagnostics or firmware upgrade via service connector). The 32 KB flash accommodates a small real-time operating loop and a USB CDC diagnostic interface, while the 2 KB SRAM holds ADC averaging buffers for current measurements. The industrial temperature grade (-40 C to +85 C) covers most household-appliance environments, and pin-compatible same-brand parts (PIC18F2550-I/SO) let designers downsize flash for cost-sensitive variants.

🔧

Educational / Hobbyist Development Platform

The PIC18F2553-I/SO is widely used on hobbyist development boards (PICKit 3-compatible ICD boards, custom USB trainers) because it combines a popular 8-bit PIC core with built-in USB so students do not need an external UART-to-USB bridge chip. The 28-pin SOIC is hand-solderable with basic tooling, the ICSP header only needs four signals (PGD/PGC/VPP/GND), and free Microchip tools (MPLAB X IDE, XC8 compiler, MCC code configurator) support it. Pin-compatible same-brand alternatives (PIC18F2455-I/SO and PIC18F2550-I/SO) let instructors teach with one board that scales across memory sizes without redesigning the PCB.

What is the maximum CPU clock and MIPS rating of PIC18F2553-I/SO?
The PIC18F2553-I/SO runs at up to 48 MHz when supplied from 4.2 V to 5.5 V, which delivers 12 MIPS of throughput because the PIC18 core executes one instruction per 4 oscillator cycles. Below 4.2 V the maximum Fosc must be reduced per the device derating curves. This performance is sufficient for USB Full-Speed HID or CDC stacks plus application code on a single 8-bit core.
How much program flash and RAM does PIC18F2553-I/SO have?
According to the Microchip PIC18F2553 datasheet, the part provides 32 KB of self-programmable flash organized as 16K x 16 words and 2 KB of general-purpose SRAM. It also includes 256 bytes of data EEPROM for non-volatile parameter storage. For applications needing more RAM, the pin-compatible PIC18F4553 family offers 8 KB of SRAM with the same 28-pin SOIC footprint, while PIC18F2xKxx devices trade the USB peripheral for higher core performance.
Where can I buy PIC18F2553-I/SO and what is the lead time?
The PIC18F2553-I/SO is currently listed in stock at major distributors including DigiKey, Mouser and Newark (as of 2026-09-27), with the SOIC-28 package shipping from Microchip directly or from authorized resellers. Pricing on DigiKey starts around $8.30 for qty-1 and drops to roughly $5.55 at 1,000 pieces; the LCSC listing shows about $14.24 at single-piece pricing. Volume orders of 100+ are generally shipped within 1-2 weeks.
What is the price of PIC18F2553-I/SO at qty 100?
As of 2026-09-27, the qty-100 unit price for PIC18F2553-I/SO on DigiKey is approximately $6.64 per piece, with qty-10 around $7.47 and qty-1 around $8.30. Bulk pricing on Mouser and Octopart-aggregated distributors reaches roughly $5.55 per piece at qty-1,000. The LCSC listing price of about $14.24 is higher because LCSC typically targets hobbyist qty-1 buyers rather than production breaks.
Is PIC18F2553-I/SO in stock right now?
Yes. As of 2026-09-27 the PIC18F2553-I/SO is listed in stock at DigiKey (ships today), Mouser and Newark, all carrying the 28-pin SOIC industrial-temperature variant. Lead time from authorized distributors is generally 1-2 weeks for orders up to 1,000 pieces, and Microchip's factory lead time is typically 8-12 weeks for direct production orders.
What is the difference between PIC18F2553-I/SO and PIC18F4553-I/P?
The PIC18F2553-I/SO and PIC18F4553-I/P share the same PIC18F2553 silicon family and the same 48 MHz / 12 MIPS performance, plus the same USB Full-Speed peripheral. The principal differences are memory and package: the PIC18F2553 has 32 KB flash / 2 KB SRAM in a 28-pin SOIC, while the PIC18F4553 has 32 KB flash / 2 KB SRAM in a 40-pin PDIP, and other 4553/4550 variants extend to 40 or 44 pins with more I/O and 8 KB of RAM. They are NOT pin-compatible drop-in replacements because the 28-SOIC and 40-PDIP footprints differ.
PIC18F2553-I/SO vs PIC18F2550-I/SO - which is better for a USB HID keyboard project?
For a USB HID keyboard the PIC18F2550-I/SO is the better fit: it shares the same 28-pin SOIC package, the same 48 MHz CPU, the same FS-USB transceiver and the same 12-bit ADC as the PIC18F2553, but costs slightly less because it ships with 16 KB of program flash instead of 32 KB, which is plenty for a HID boot or composite HID + CDC stack. Choose the PIC18F2553-I/SO instead when your firmware exceeds roughly 12 KB of flash after USB stack overhead, or when you need the extra headroom for additional application code.
Is PIC18F2553-I/SO a drop-in upgrade for PIC18F2455-I/SO designs?
Yes. The PIC18F2553-I/SO is a drop-in upgrade for any design that currently uses a PIC18F2455-I/SO: both parts share the same 28-pin SOIC footprint, the same pinout, the same 48 MHz/12 MIPS PIC18 core, the same FS-USB peripheral, the same I2C/SPI/EUSART serial set and the same 12-bit ADC. The differences are 32 KB flash on the F2553 vs 24 KB on the F2455, and 2 KB vs 1.2 KB of SRAM, so existing F2455 PCBs accept the F2553 without any layout or firmware changes other than verifying code size and RAM usage against the larger memory map.
What is the best Microchip drop-in replacement for PIC18F2553-I/SO if supply is tight?
The best Microchip drop-in replacement for the PIC18F2553-I/SO is the PIC18F2550-I/SO from the same family in the same 28-pin SOIC package, because it shares the pinout and most of the peripheral set, with the only trade-off being a smaller 16 KB flash (vs 32 KB) and 2 KB of SRAM. If your firmware is well under 12 KB, the F2550 is functionally identical on the bench and can be dropped onto the existing PCB footprint. If you need the full 32 KB of flash plus 2 KB of SRAM, the PIC18F2455-I/SO is a closer memory-class match (24 KB flash) and also shares the same SOIC-28 pinout.
Where do I download the PIC18F2553-I/SO datasheet PDF?
The PIC18F2553-I/SO datasheet can be downloaded as a PDF directly from Microchip's product page at https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/PIC18F2553 or from the Microchip datasheet archive. According to the all-datasheet listing it is a 46-page document titled "28/40/44-Pin High-Performance, Enhanced Flash, USB Microcontrollers with 12-Bit A/D and nanoWatt Technology" with approximately 1 MB file size. Always cross-check the latest revision on Microchip's site before signing off firmware against the memory map and configuration bits.
Where can I find the PIC18F2553-I/SO pinout?
The PIC18F2553-I/SO pinout for the 28-pin SOIC (300-mil) package is documented on page 5 of the manufacturer datasheet and reproduced on Microchip's PIC18F2553 product page. Key pins: pin 11 is VDD, pin 12 is VSS, pin 23 is VUSB (USB transceiver supply, requires an external decoupling capacitor), pin 24 is D-, pin 25 is D+ (USB data lines), pin 1 is MCLR/VPP/RE3, and pins 26/27/28 are the ICSP PGD/PGC pair plus the parallel slave port. The 28-SOIC and 28-SPDIP variants are pin-compatible.
What supply voltage does PIC18F2553-I/SO need for full 48 MHz operation?
The PIC18F2553-I/SO requires a supply voltage between 4.2 V and 5.5 V at the VDD pin to operate at the full 48 MHz Fosc (12 MIPS). Below 4.2 V, the device can still run, but at a reduced maximum frequency; the datasheet's derating curves show, for example, that 3.0 V VDD limits the part to about 40 MHz. The internal 3.3 V USB regulator (VUSB pin) generates the USB transceiver rail regardless of VDD, but does not power the digital core.
What are the key specifications of PIC18F2553-I/SO that engineers should know?
The PIC18F2553-I/SO combines an 8-bit PIC18 core running at 48 MHz (12 MIPS) with 32 KB of flash, 2 KB of SRAM, 256 B of EEPROM, an integrated USB 2.0 Full-Speed (12 Mbit/s) transceiver, a 10-channel 12-bit ADC, two comparators and the nanoWatt power-management set. It ships in a 28-pin SOIC (300-mil) industrial-temperature package, operates from 4.2 V to 5.5 V, and supports ICSP for in-circuit programming. The combination of native USB plus 12-bit analog is unusual for an 8-bit MCU and is the reason this part remains popular in low-cost USB sensor bridges.
Is there a STMicroelectronics equivalent for PIC18F2553-I/SO with USB?
There is no direct STM8 or STM32 drop-in equivalent for the PIC18F2553-I/SO because the PIC18 uses a unique peripheral set and 28-pin SOIC pinout. The closest cross-brand match from STMicroelectronics is the STM32F070F6P6 (20-pin TSSOP) or STM32F072C8T6 (48-pin LQFP), both of which integrate a USB 2.0 Full-Speed peripheral, but neither shares the PIC18F2553's pinout so they require PCB redesign and a different toolchain. For new designs that can change footprint, the STM32F070 / STM32F072 families are competitive on price and outperform the PIC18F2553 on MIPS per mA, but they are NOT pin-compatible drop-in replacements.
Can PIC18F2553-I/SO be replaced by PIC18F25K50-I/SO on the same PCB?
Yes. The PIC18F25K50-I/SO is a drop-in upgrade for the PIC18F2553-I/SO on the same 28-pin SOIC footprint: it provides a faster 64 MHz CPU (16 MIPS), more RAM (2 KB -> 2 KB, identical), more flash on some variants, and an upgraded USB peripheral with on-chip full-speed transceiver and on-the-go (OTG) support in some K50 mask revisions. Firmware migration requires recompiling against the PIC18F2xK50 header files, but the PCB layout, decoupling and USB bus termination are unchanged. The K50 is the preferred modern alternative when EOL concerns affect the F2553.

Choose PIC18F2550-I/SO instead if your firmware is well under 12 KB and you want a few cents off each board. Choose PIC18F2455-I/SO if you only need ~24 KB of flash and 1.2 KB of RAM. Migrate to PIC18F25K50-I/SO if you want a 64 MHz core, OTG support, or a wider 1.8-5.5 V supply range - same 28-SOIC footprint, recompile firmware against the K50 header files. All four parts share the same SOIC-28 footprint and Microchip MPLAB X / XC8 toolchain, so PCB layout and development environment are reusable.

Designhinweise

USB differential-pair layout is the single most important PCB decision on a PIC18F2553 board. Route D+ (RC5) and D- (RC4) as a 90 ohm differential pair with continuous ground reference, no splits in the reference plane under the pair, and total length under 25 mm where possible. Place the 1.5 kohm pull-up on D+ to VUSB (3.3 V, not VDD) as close to the D+ pin as possible, and add a USBLC6-2SC6 or similar ESD array right at the USB connector. The 0.1 uF + 1 uF decoupling pair on VUSB and a 0.1 uF + 1 uF pair on VDD must be placed within 3 mm of the respective pins.

At 48 MHz Fosc the PIC18F2553 draws roughly 15 to 25 mA of I/O supply current depending on peripheral activity, plus up to 8 mA on VUSB for the USB transceiver. Use a low-dropout regulator such as MCP1700 or MCP1826S that can deliver 50 mA with at least 200 mV of headroom, and tie the brown-out reset (BOR) enable fuse so the part does not run at indeterminate VDD levels during slow power ramps. Below 4.2 V the device can still run, but the maximum Fosc must be reduced per the datasheet derating curves (e.g., 3.0 V VDD limits the part to about 40 MHz).

Three common pitfalls on PIC18F2553 designs: (1) forgetting the ICSP header and not being able to recover a device whose configuration bits disable the LVP pin, so always reserve 2x3 or 2x5 pin header with PGD/PGC/VPP/MCLR/VSS/VDD; (2) enabling the internal PLL with a wrong CPUDIV configuration and ending up with the core off-frequency, which produces USB enumeration failures - always set PLLCFG to the right HFINTOSC source and CPUDIV to /1 for 48 MHz; (3) assuming the 3.3 V VUSB regulator can source the pull-up resistor and external circuits - VUSB is for the USB transceiver only and cannot supply more than about 5 mA externally.

Estimated: the PIC18F2553 in 28-SOIC has a theta_JA of approximately 80 C/W in still air on a standard 2-layer JEDEC test PCB, and roughly 50 C/W on a 4-layer board with a continuous ground pour. At 25 mA VDD current and 5.0 V VDD the part dissipates about 125 mW, giving a junction temperature rise of 10 C above ambient on a 4-layer board, well below the 150 C Tj limit. On a 2-layer board the rise is around 16 C, still comfortable, so no heatsink is needed unless the device is mounted in an enclosed enclosure with no airflow.

Place the 28-SOIC footprint on a 0.65 mm pitch with the standard SOIC-28 land pattern (IPC-SM-782). The ICSP header should be placed at the board edge for factory programming access, and any debugger clip must clear the crystal or external oscillator components on pins 9-10. Keep the ICSP trace between MCLR/VPP and the ICSP header short (under 30 mm) and include a small series resistor (10 to 100 ohm) to dampen ringing on the high-impedance MCLR line during programming.
