PIC18F23K20T-I/MV - 8-bit MCU, 64MHz, 8KB Flash, 28-UQFN | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC18F23K20T-I/MV is an 8-bit RISC microcontroller in the PIC18 K20 family, packaged in a 28-pin UQFN (4x4 mm) with exposed pad, supplied on Tape & Reel. According to the manufacturer datasheet, it integrates 8 KB of Flash program memory (4K x 16), 768 bytes of RAM, and operates up to 64 MHz instruction frequency from a 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply, making it suitable for both 3.3 V and 5 V designs. The 'T' suffix denotes Tape & Reel packaging, the 'I' indicates the industrial -40 C to +85 C operating temperature range, and 'MV' refers to the 28-UQFN exposed-pad package.
An 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that combines a CPU, non-volatile program memory (Flash), volatile data memory (RAM), and a rich set of peripherals (timers, ADC, communications, GPIO) on one die. PIC18 devices use an enhanced Harvard RISC architecture with 16-bit opcodes and a hardware multiplier, sitting between simple PIC10/12/16 mid-range parts and the 16-bit dsPIC/PIC24 families in Microchip's MCU portfolio. This product family is the 8-bit base of the power-managed, low-power 'XLP' (eXtreme Low Power) line aimed at battery-friendly designs.
Key features include 25 I/O pins, 10-bit ADC with up to 14 channels, two analog comparators, enhanced CCP modules, two USART, MSSP (SPI/I2C), and nanoWatt XLP power management with deep sleep currents typically below 100 nA. The device also offers a 1.2 V fixed voltage reference (FVR), programmable 16-level voltage references, and 25 mA sink/source capability per I/O for direct LED drive.
Architecturally, the PIC18F23K20 uses Microchip's enhanced mid-range core with a modified Harvard bus, 31-level hardware stack, and configurable oscillator options including 8 MHz internal RC, PLL up to 64 MHz, and external crystal/clock modes. The internal 8 MHz oscillator can be multiplied by the 4x PLL to reach 32 MIPS instruction throughput at 64 MHz, while nanoWatt XLP modes (Sleep, Deep Sleep, Idle, RTCC) keep quiescent current in the nanoamp range for IoT nodes.
Typical applications include low-power sensor nodes and IoT edge devices, USB-to-UART bridges, LED lighting controllers, consumer white goods, automotive body and HMI subsystems (with AEC-Q100 qualified siblings), and industrial control such as small PLCs, motor control BLDC drivers, and remote control transmitters. The wide voltage range allows direct connection to 4xAA battery stacks or 5 V rails.
When designing with this part, ensure the exposed thermal pad (EP) is soldered to a sufficient copper pour to meet thermal and electrical grounding requirements; also verify that your compiler/build target supports the K20 family (XC8 v1.30+ or MPLAB X).
