PIC18LF25K83-I/ML - 32KB Flash, CAN, 28-QFN 8-bit MCU | Microchip
The Microchip Technology PIC18LF25K83-I/ML is a low-power, high-performance 8-bit PIC18 microcontroller from the PIC18 (L)F25/26K83 family, featuring 32 KB Flash, 2 KB RAM, integrated CAN technology and a 12-bit ADC with Computation (ADC2). Housed in a 28-pin 6x6 mm QFN (ML) package with an exposed pad, it operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and runs the PIC18 core at up to 64 MHz, delivering up to 16 MIPS while drawing nanoWatt XLP sleep currents in the microampere range.
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU, non-volatile program memory (Flash), volatile working memory (RAM), and a set of on-chip peripherals such as timers, ADCs, communication interfaces and I/O ports. The PIC18LF25K83 belongs to the 8-bit MCU category, sitting hierarchically below 16-bit and 32-bit MCUs in raw compute throughput but offering very low power, deterministic interrupt response, and a small footprint — ideal for cost- and energy-constrained edge nodes. The LF prefix indicates the low-voltage variant of the K83 family, with the F-version supporting a wider 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply.
Key features include 32 KB self-programmable Flash, 1 KB EEPROM, 2 KB SRAM, a 12-bit ADC2 with automated Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) for touch sensing, multiple communication peripherals (CAN 2.0B, UART, SPI, I2C), Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs), and the eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) nanoWatt technology. The device integrates up to 25 I/O pins with individual interrupt-on-change capability, multiple PWM outputs, and configurable logic cells that allow designers to offload tasks from the CPU.
The K83 family is built around Microchip's enhanced mid-range PIC18 core, featuring a hardware multiplier, a 31-level stack, and a vectored interrupt controller. The 12-bit ADC2 with computation automates averaging, oversampling and threshold comparison, significantly reducing firmware overhead for sensor and touch-sensing applications. The integrated CAN 2.0B module with filtering and masking enables robust industrial and automotive networking without an external transceiver controller.
Typical applications include automotive body and comfort modules, industrial CAN nodes, capacitive touch user interfaces, low-power sensor hubs, building automation, and battery-powered IoT edge devices. The combination of CAN connectivity, ADC2 with touch support and nanoWatt XLP sleep makes it especially well suited to always-on systems that spend most of their time in deep sleep and only wake on a sensor event or CAN frame.
When designing with this MCU, ensure the exposed pad (EP) of the QFN-28 is soldered to a sufficiently large copper pour to meet the package's thermal and electrical ground requirements. Use MPLAB X IDE with XC8 compiler and MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) for rapid peripheral setup, and consider the PIC18F25K83 variant if 5 V tolerance or higher Vdd operation is required.
This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, giving engineers a single source to compare the PIC18LF25K83-I/ML against same-package alternatives and select the right MCU for low-power CAN-enabled designs.
