PIC18F4458-I/ML - 8-bit 48MHz USB MCU 24KB Flash 44-QFN | Microchip
The Microchip PIC18F4458-I/ML is an 8-bit PIC18 microcontroller running up to 48 MHz with 24 KB Flash, 2 KB SRAM, and 256 Bytes EEPROM, integrated Full-Speed USB 2.0, a 12-bit ADC, and nanoWatt power management, housed in a 44-pin QFN (8x8 mm) package.
What is an 8-bit MCU with integrated USB? An 8-bit microcontroller is a single-chip computer built around an 8-bit data path, optimized for deterministic control, low power, and small code footprint. PIC18F devices extend the baseline PIC16 architecture with a 16-bit instruction word, C-friendly addressing, and richer peripherals. Within the broader taxonomy, PIC18 belongs to the microcontroller -> embedded controller -> semiconductor family, and the 44-QFN "/ML" suffix positions it as the surface-mount variant of the PIC18F4458 family (others include /PT TQFP and /P PDIP).
Key features include 24 KB (12K x 16) of enhanced Flash with self-programming support, 2 KB SRAM, 256 Bytes EEPROM, 35 digital I/O pins, an internal 31 kHz to 8 MHz oscillator with PLL for 48 MHz operation, a 12-bit A/D converter with up to 13 input channels, two analog comparators, two CCP modules plus an enhanced CCP, three serial ports (FS-USB 12 Mbit/s, I2C, SPI up to 10 Mbit/s), and a USART with LIN support. The nanoWatt feature set provides idle, sleep, and low-power Timer1 oscillator modes that let the device draw microamps in standby.
Architecturally, the PIC18F4458 uses an enhanced Harvard bus with a 16-bit flash program word and an 8-bit data path, enabling C-friendly operation while keeping interrupts and peripheral triggers fully deterministic. The integrated USB SIE handles Full-Speed (12 Mbit/s) USB 2.0 without an external transceiver or external oscillator when paired with the internal 48 MHz PLL, dramatically reducing BOM cost for USB peripherals. The 12-bit ADC is paired with a 5-channel input mux for mixed analog/digital sensor nodes.
Typical applications include Full-Speed USB human-interface devices (HID keyboards, mice, custom joysticks), USB-to-UART bridges, low-cost data loggers with analog sensors, industrial control panels, and consumer accessories needing a wired connection to PCs or chargers. The 24 KB Flash comfortably fits USB stack and CDC/HID class drivers alongside application logic.
When designing with this device, follow the recommended USB bus-power decoupling (100 nF high-frequency + 4.7 uF bulk) and place the VBUS sense resistor within 10 mm of the D+ line. Note that part number suffix /ML denotes the 44-pin QFN package; the /PT variant is TQFP-44 and /P is PDIP-40 - all three share the same silicon so firmware is portable, but PCB footprints and pinouts differ.
