PIC16F1938T-I/SS - 8-Bit 32MHz 28KB Flash XLP MCU | Microchip
MPN: PIC16F1938T-I/SS ✓ AktifPIC16F1938T-I/SS Ringkasan
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, program and data memory, timers, communication peripherals, and I/O on one die. Within the system hierarchy, the PIC16F1938 belongs to the 8-bit microcontroller sub-category, which sits under the broader microcontroller IC family, itself a branch of microcontrollers and processors within embedded semiconductors. Its 8-bit RISC Harvard architecture executes most instructions in one clock cycle, providing deterministic real-time performance for control loops, while XLP technology targets battery-powered designs where nanoamp-level sleep currents extend operating life.
Key features include a 32 MHz internal oscillator with 4x PLL option, 14-channel 10-bit ADC, mTouch capacitive touch sensing support, two USART, two SPI, two I2C, five 8/16-bit timers, an LCD driver capable of driving up to 192 segments, and ultra-low-power sleep modes drawing less than 50 nA. On-chip debug and In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) are supported via two pins, simplifying field updates.
Architecturally, the PIC16F1938 uses an enhanced mid-range 8-bit core with a hardware 15-bit stack and 16-level deep subroutine nesting, plus a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC, configurable logic cells, and an on-chip voltage reference for low-power analog designs. The integrated segmented LCD controller generates the bias and waveform timing required for static, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 duty multiplexed glass.
Typical applications include battery-powered consumer devices with LCD user interfaces, sensor nodes, white goods front-panel controllers, e-metering and thermostat displays, and portable medical instruments. The combination of segmented LCD, capacitive touch, and nanoWatt XLP enables single-chip HMI solutions without an external display driver.
When designing with this device, allocate PCB area for the ICSP/ICD pins (PGC/PGD) on dedicated test pads so that production programming and in-circuit debugging remain accessible. Use the MPLAB X IDE with XC8 compiler and ensure decoupling capacitors (typically 100 nF plus 10 µF bulk) are placed within a few millimeters of VDD.

Aplikasi Umum
PIC16F1938T-I/SS cocok untuk 6 aplikasis: Battery-Powered Sensor Node with LCD Display, White Goods Front-Panel Controller, Electronic Thermostat with Touch UI, Portable Medical Instrument Display, Industrial Control HMI with Keypad + LCD, Automotive Aftermarket Accessory Display.
Battery-Powered Sensor Node with LCD Display
The PIC16F1938T-I/SS is ideal for battery-powered sensor nodes that need an integrated segmented LCD for readout. Its nanoWatt XLP sleep current under 50 nA and integrated LCD driver supporting up to 192 segments let the MCU wake periodically, drive sensor analog channels through the 10-bit ADC, update the LCD, and return to sleep without an external display driver. With 28 KB of Flash and 1 KB of SRAM there is ample headroom for wireless protocol stacks, calibration tables, and OTA update capability. The 32 MHz maximum CPU speed (8 MIPS) ensures responsive user interaction. PCB layout requires just two decoupling capacitors and the LCD bias network, keeping the BOM low for high-volume IoT and metering products.

White Goods Front-Panel Controller
Washing machines, ovens, and dishwashers use the PIC16F1938T-I/SS as the main HMI controller, combining capacitive touch (mTouch), a segmented LCD for cycle status, and multi-channel PWM for motor/relay control. The integrated CLCs (Configurable Logic Cells) emulate glue logic, removing external gates, while the five timers give precise PWM frequency control for universal-motor triac drives. Its 25 digital I/O pins handle keypad scan, buzzer, encoder input, and triac firing, plus a UART for diagnostics. The 28-SSOP package is easy to wave-solder on industrial boards. Industrial -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range handles under-counter appliance environments.

Electronic Thermostat with Touch UI
Smart thermostats leverage the PIC16F1938T-I/SS for its mTouch capacitive touch sensing, integrated LCD, and 10-bit ADC that interfaces directly with NTC thermistor dividers or external temperature sensors. The 28 KB Flash fits full PID control, scheduling, and BLE/Sub-GHz stack management, while the nanoWatt XLP modes let the device enter sleep between temperature samples. The integrated LCD bias generation eliminates a dedicated charge-pump IC, reducing both BOM cost and PCB area. Industrial temperature grade supports equipment-room deployments. The two-wire ICSP debug also enables rapid field firmware updates.

Portable Medical Instrument Display
Handheld medical devices like blood-pressure monitors, glucometers, and pulse oximeters use the PIC16F1938T-I/SS to drive the segmented LCD that displays measured values, plus the capacitive touch buttons for power and mode selection. The 10-bit ADC supports direct connection to analog front-end outputs from sensor signal chains, while the 5 timers coordinate measurement timing, LCD refresh, and buzzer alerts. XLP nanoWatt operation prolongs battery life on coin cells, and the industrial -40 °C to +85 °C grade supports the storage and operating envelope required by IEC 60601-1 consumer-environment testing. The 28-SSOP is small enough for compact hand-held enclosures.

Industrial Control HMI with Keypad + LCD
Industrial machine control panels rely on the PIC16F1938T-I/SS to scan a 4×4 or 5×5 keypad, drive a 4-mux segmented LCD, and execute the supervisory state machine of the equipment. Its dual USART enables simultaneous communication with a host PLC and a barcode/RFID reader, while SPI and I2C connect to EEPROM for parameter storage and to external digital potentiometers. The 32 MHz CPU delivers deterministic response times below 1 µs interrupt latency. The integrated LCD controller reduces external chip count by 1-2, and the 25 I/O are enough for the keypad, buzzer, status LEDs, and multiple relay outputs.

Automotive Aftermarket Accessory Display
Aftermarket automotive accessories — gauge clusters, boost controllers, tire-pressure monitors, and alarm keypads — use the PIC16F1938T-I/SS for its combination of segmented LCD support, mTouch capacitive sense, and dual communication buses (LIN via UART, SPI for sensor expansion). Although not AEC-Q100 qualified, the industrial -40 °C to +85 °C grade survives under-dash conditions, and the XLP sleep modes preserve the vehicle battery when the ignition is off. The integrated LCD charge pump handles direct 5 V operation from the 12 V regulated rail. Two-wire ICSP simplifies field firmware updates at the dealership.

Diferensiator Kunci
- Highest-density 8-bit PIC with on-chip segmented LCD + capacitive touch + nanoWatt XLP (vsPIC16F1936-I/SS)
- Lower VDD operation for coin-cell designs (vsPIC16LF1938T-I/SS)
- Industrial temperature grade for harsh environments (vsPIC16F1938T-E/SS)
Catatan Desain
Place a 100 nF decoupling capacitor within 3 mm of the VDD pin (pin 6) and a bulk 10 µF capacitor on the same net; add a 100 nF on VCAP (pin 8) for the internal 3.6 V regulator that supplies the core logic. The nanoWatt XLP sleep current is specified with all peripherals disabled and the LCD charge pump off; verify sleep currents on the bench with your actual configuration because I/O leakage and floating inputs can dominate at <1 µA levels.
Keep the ICSP clock and data traces (shared with RB6/RB7) away from switching signals and route them as short, parallel traces to dedicated test pads accessible without removing the board from its enclosure. The 28-SSOP land pattern requires 0.65 mm lead pitch and 0.40 mm lead width per IPC-7351 nominal; add a 0.65 mm × 1.0 mm solder paste aperture for reliable reflow on the SSOP exposed lead tip.
Configuration word bits must be set correctly for the oscillator source (HS/INTOSC), WDT, brown-out voltage, and code protection before the first ICSP cycle, otherwise the part may appear bricked. Always keep PGECx/PGEDx accessible in production; if those pins are also used for pushbuttons, ensure the circuit presents a defined logic state at power-on or debug will fail. For capacitive touch (mTouch), never route the sense trace over the LCD glass or near noise sources — guard-ring the electrode with a grounded trace.
