PIC18F27K42-I/SS - 8-bit 64MHz 128KB Flash MCU 28-SSOP | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC18F27K42-I/SS is an 8-bit RISC microcontroller from the PIC18 K42 family featuring 128 KB of Flash program memory, 8 KB of SRAM, and 1 KB of EEPROM, housed in a 28-pin SSOP package. It operates at up to 64 MHz using a high-performance PIC18 CPU core, integrates 16 MIPS performance, and is fabricated on CMOS technology with eXtreme Low Power (XLP) features.
An 8-bit PIC microcontroller is a Harvard-architecture RISC processor that executes single-cycle instructions, combining deterministic real-time performance with ultra-low standby power. The PIC18 family extends this base with 16-bit opcodes, linear memory access, and a rich peripheral set; the K42 sub-family in particular adds Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) such as Configurable Logic Cells (CLC), Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG), Direct Memory Access (DMA), Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO), and intelligent analog blocks (12-bit ADC2 with Computation, 5-bit DAC, zero-cross detect, comparators). Positioned in the broader taxonomy, the PIC18F27K42 belongs to: 8-bit MCU -> microcontroller -> embedded processor -> semiconductor.
Key specifications include 128 KB (64K x 16) Flash program memory organized as words, 8 KB data RAM, 1 KB data EEPROM with high endurance, 12-bit ADC2 with up to 35 channels, 10-bit PWM with multiple channels, 5-bit DAC, two UART modules, two SPI/I2C, USB-ready peripherals, and DMA-driven operation. The device runs from 1.8 V to 5.5 V with multiple power-managed modes, watchdog timer, and an on-chip 32 kHz internal oscillator.
Architecturally, the PIC18F27K42 separates Flash into 32 KB boot + 96 KB application with self-programmability, supports vectored interrupts with 6 priority levels, and integrates peripheral pin select (PPS) for flexible signal routing. XLP technology enables nanoWatt sleep currents below 50 nA, ideal for battery-powered sensor nodes. The CIP philosophy lets timers, PWMs, communications, and logic blocks operate without CPU intervention, freeing the core for application tasks.
Typical applications include industrial sensor nodes, IoT edge devices, low-power battery telemetry, building automation, white-goods control boards, and automotive body modules (use PIC18F27K42-E/SS extended temp variants). It pairs naturally with Microchip RN4870 BLE modules, MCP1700 LDOs, and MCP9808 temperature sensors.
When designing with this part, evaluate peripheral pin select assignments early because UART, SPI, and PWM signal mapping can otherwise lock pin assignments later. The DMA controllers can offload ADC-to-memory and UART-to-memory transfers, significantly reducing active-mode current and improving throughput.
